Wound that healed

I do believe that wounds heals slowly for a reason. All wounds, no matter what kind of wounds, (be it emotional, physical or whatever) take its time to heal. Although some takes longer than others to heal and some people heal faster than others, it is something to remember by. Even a small nick that caused a gash on your knee may take only half a second to cause it to happen, the wound may take a week or two for it to heal and the scar to fade. For some wounds however, the scar remains till the end of their days.

A physical scar shows a blemish on your physical self that the wound, although healed, still lingers in memory with every sight of the scar. It is a reminder of our mistakes, mistakes of others, and/or both. The scar reminds us of the hurt and probably shame. Though some guys would like to show girls of their battle scars, the scar may haunt them when they look in the mirror and see their reminder. Could they somehow avoid those scars? They would wonder. Some guys (and girls) even came up with a story of how they gotten the scars; making the existence of the scars look more acceptable or respected. This reminds me of the "Dragon Tiger Gate". There was this character guy named "Turbo", and he had a scar on this face. He told everyone the story of his scar say that it was from a great battle that he gotten it. In fact, he created the scar himself so that he would scare the people he faces because of his horrible looking scar.

So why is everyone afraid of their own scars? As mentioned earlier, probably because it shows some sort of imperfection to their already imperfect bodies/physical self and remembrance of the pain. Most everyone wants their scars to be removed. It could be done commercially for physical scars but emotional scars? So how do you remove the emotional scars? I use plural for emotional scars because all of us have emotional scars, one type or another. However, whatever the reason for wanting to remove scars, I believe that scars do show us something. The history remembered would help us, guides us. A gash from a knife cut reminds us of how sharp a knife is and why we should be more careful about handling a knife. An emotional scar may (I said may) help them to realize that their actions may hurt others as well and would not do the same emotional damage to others. Other kind of emotional scars remind them of the good times and though the good times have gone, it could still be remembered.

Scars would be there, no matter what. Do take sometime to think about the scars. Stop, smell the roses too. Scars remind you of your past hurt. You will remember that it is healed so don't linger in the past, pretending the wound is fresh. The healed wound is shown when you see/remember the scar(s). It acts as a reminder nothing more. But the gentle reminder reminds us how fragile life is, how fragile we are and we survived those fragile moments. Wound healed slowly for the same reason. The painful but gentle reminder of the hurts is proportional to the wound inflicted. The smaller the wound, the pain is less severe. No matter how small the pain or how painful the pain may be, it acts as a reminder of our mistakes and mistakes of others. Some of the future mistakes could be avoided by doing what you know is going to hurt the opposite way. Some of the future mistakes could be avoided by doing the good things that you never could do in the past. Once the wound is healed, then it's back to the top, a gentle reminder of what we had faced. Learned from the wounds we have and avoid it the best we can and try not to inflict others for we know how painful it is to us.
