“Actions create consequences. Consequences which produce new worlds, and they’re all different. Where the bodies are buried in the desert, that is a certain world, where the bodies are simply left to be found, that is another. At some point you will have to acknowledge the reality of the world you are in. There is not some other world. This is not a hiatus. I would urge you to see the truth of the situation you’re in. That is my advice. It is not for me to tell you what you should have done, or not done. The world in which you seek to undo the mistakes that you made is different than the world in which they were made. You’re now at the crossing, and you want to choose, but there is no choosing. There’s only accepting. The choosing was done a long time ago.[...]"
"Do you know the words of Machado? A beautiful poet. Machado was a school teacher and he married a young beautiful girl, and he loved her very much. And she died and then he became a poet. Machado would have traded every word, every poem, every verse he ever wrote for one more hour with his beloved and that is because when it comes to grief, there is no rule of exchange. Grief transcends every value. A man would give up whole nations to lift it from his heart. And yet with it, you can buy nothing. Because grief is worthless.You continue to deny the reality of the world you live in. You are at the crossing. At the understanding that life isn’t going to take you back. You are the world you have created.”" I recently watched the movie "The counselor" At the end one man says this to another. When i searched for this quote i came upon a man's response to this. "I am a man who stands at the crossing. Make no mistake, there’s a difference between the crossing and the crossroads. The crossroads is a juncture. The crossing is the point of no return. I stand now past the point of no returning. I have made my choices. There is no going back.." This is what i think We have all been there. Choices lead to a certain reality. If we picked A it would of created one reality. Should we have picked B, another. But we are here now, living this reality, no turning back, all we can do is accept it. Acceptance you say! Yes it is very difficult, i too struggle with his concept. I would trade so much just to of gone back, so that my current reality could of turned out differently. SEE..."A man would give up whole nations to lift it from his heart. And yet with it, you can buy nothing. Because grief is worthless.You continue to deny the reality of the world you live in. You are at the crossing. At the understanding that life isn’t going to take you back. You are the world you have created.”" Why can't we accept it? Because it hurts. Acceptance would mean to let go; let go of the pain, our mistakes, our struggles we have carried for so long.....a comfortable place we have found ourselves in for months perhaps years...... what have the above quotation meant to you regarding your life and journey? |
