I mean when we love and care about someone, so many times our fear, hurts, and ego get in the way. When we give in to the hurt, fear, and ego we close the person who loves us out of our heart...we push them out of our life. Many times that person will sit and wait, but for how long. How long can a loved one wait, how long can they bear being ignored until we open our heart again to them?
When we shut someone out like that, it is like telling them they have no value in our life, that they are not good enough. We hurt them in the way we are hurting...we are destroying the love they have for us. The ego has the ability to destroy love and our very being, and so in turn we destroy those who we love and those who love us. Can we afford to live without love?
Our stubborness is no justification for our self-centeredness, for our selfishness...that is ego and the side effect of a closed heart. What joy is there in alienating those we love, those who love us? It takes two people to have a relationship, and each of us is responsible for our own part in that relationship. When we shut a person out and they walk away from us...we end up alone. Is it their fault that they walked away from a locked door?
Personally, I don't want my heart closed anylonger. I like the way it feels now that it has been opened. But, I am beginning to wonder if opening it was a mistake? I do my best to not take being shut out personally...maybe it's not about me, but then again without any type of communication, who's to say.
So for those of us who are hurting...remember as we hurt and close down, we in turn are hurting those who love us, those who can help to heal the hurt and bring us into love once again.
