Opinion: Time heals everything

LIFE is a wild race of competing with people, getting along with them, becoming a successful individual in the eyes of our family and society and so on.

Within this life, sadness, grief, pain, depression and loneliness play a dark role.

Have you ever thought upon this? Our loved ones pass away, they leave us, or our favourite toy gets broken, the mobile phone gets stolen, we get into massive fights with our friends, whatsoever it is, the phenomenon lying behind every problem is that “Time heals everything”.

The ultimate solution of each and every problem arising in our life is ‘time’. At times, people think that this is just a phrase like so many others to bring some consolation but it is a truth beyond everything that yes, time does heals everything. When I say everything that actually means everything! Be it, a loss of some loved one’s precious life, failure in school/college, unsuccessful job or anything.

It is just the matter of how we see things, once you actually consider this fact, you will get to the conclusion that yes time heals everything. I mean, what could be more tragic than losing a loved one? We feel the pain almost our entire life but somewhere in between again time does heal everything and we slowly and steadily get over it or at least learn to live with it.

Basically, time is the single cure for each and every problem be it a small one or a huge one, with time everything turns normal, we forget things which once we considered to be the end of everything, of our life. I have learned this through my personal experience that ‘time’ is the magical cure of every problem arising in everyone’s life.

Give yourself time and you will get over everything!
