Time will solve all problems

I watch the "Millionaire Singer" programme this evening. This is a Taiwanese singing program whereby the singer needs to remember the lyrics of a song before he can proceed to the next round which awards a bigger reward. This  program was suppose to be an entertainment slot but for this evening's program was a bit different.

One of the contestant was a duo sister act which was invited  to participate in the program. As the Host interviewed both of them, it turns out that both were not real sisters and they have stop singing together for more than 11 years and both hardly talk to each other despite the fact both of them have performed together for more than 6 years and they won some song awards together. It was reviewed that they quarrel because of their families' problem.  One of the Singer took out an award which they have won many years ago to give to the other singer and she also present a  greeting  card to express her feeling and apologized for all the hurts she has caused in the past. Both of them broke down and cried uncontrollably. It was really a touching and inspiring scene.

The above is a lesson. It is our choice to forgive and forget and to reach out to our friends.  It does matter who is right or wrong, Open your heart and release all the pent up feelings , let all the hurts go  and reach out for your friends. A lot of us have re-acted in the same way and some people choose to keep the hurts in their heart until they die and some waited for years before letting go and reach out again.

However, I feel that " Time will solve all problems" is a very passive action.  Like the example above, it took them 11 years to review their feelings . The opportunity was also due to the Host , who have been kind enough to arrange for such re-union of the two singers. Why should we let time control our life and feelings ? The choice  to act now or later is ours and it is all within us to decide when we can exercise our options.  So, the latest slogan is "do it now" or " just do it". Don't let time be our master.

The art of letting go can be learned through awareness and our understanding of our self. The realization of letting go is within us and don't rely on time to dull our hurting feelings as the power to forgive, forget  and move forward is in our hands.

Loving kindness.
