I think the reason hurt persists for some is in trying to suppress it instead of understand and really feel it.
When
we are emotionally or even physically hurt or wounded, there's a reason
for it. I mention physical wounds for a reason . . . if you don't know
where the wound is, say a splinter, it can be difficult to impossible to
remove that splinter and to begin to heal.
It's the suppression
of our feelings that takes reasonable emotional pain and turns into
persistent and chronic psychological conditions, such as depression and
anxiety.
Our modern day society has taught us to suppress our
feelings not because it is healthy to do so but I would suggest because
emotional openness can trigger emotional responses of others through
what are called "mirror neurons." These mirror neurons are how human
beings feel and relate with not just one another but with animals and
even objects.
Our minds are these amazing vessels that are wired
to help ourselves and to help others. There are elements within our
society that are more scared of the prospect of everyone waking up to
that truth because their control of others would end.
When we wake up to our natural ability to benefit the well being of others, anything is possible.
