Guilty pleasure

[pjthompson]

Random quote of the day:

“Happiness can be heartless, can make us feel that we have broken faith with pain, with the past.  Life is both merciful and merciless that way.  It makes us go on.  It can heal us without out consent—sometimes only to tear us apart again.”

—Elizabeth Cunningham, The Passion of Mary Magdalen

That's really very profound... a lot of times in my own case, part of what makes me continue on with unhappiness is an unwillingness to relinquish it, and I've seen this tendency in others, too.

Lovely accompanying illustration.

Yes, the unwillingness to let go is sometimes the biggest obstacle to living a fuller life. And I know what she means about feeling disloyal for having moved on. But life is for living...

Ditto, and ditto.
