Is the grass really greener on the other side of the fence?
It's pure dissatisfaction. It's not being content with what one has. It's just plain battle inside one's head when one keeps on thinking about decisions made in the past.
No one can travel back in time; it only happens in the movies.
Experts say when a decision has been made, just forget about it. Let its consequences take their own course. There's no use to cry over spilt milk, remember?
That's why we hear so oft the phrase, " time to move on." No wisdom in dwelling over actions made, decisions rendered, contracts signed, etc.
I saw this old movie of Sally Field (Karen) and Ed Harris (Mack) titled "An Eye for an Eye." It also starred the young Kiefer Sutherland (Robert Doob) as the serial rapist and killer, who raped and murdered Sally Field character's teen daughter, Julie.
Kiefer's character, Robert Doob, was soon arrested for a DNA match but was released in no time because his defense team argued that they were not given a sample of the DNA, which the prosecution promised, on which they could perform their own tests. The case was dismissed and Karen and Mack were dumbstruck as Doob walked away a free man.
Meanwhile, frustrated over the justice system, the couple Karen and Mack joined a support group for people with relatives who died violently. Sally Field soon found out about a clique within this group that advocated for killing the killer.
She soon trained for the task of killing her daughter's violator. She joined a fitness class and took defense and shooting classes. But soon, another victim's mother who turned out to be undercover cop, advised her not to go on with her plan.
But after Robert (Kiefer) raped and murdered another girl, Sally Field decided to carry out her original plan which she already abandoned.
Frustrated people can be walking around without their heads; we may not know who they are.
The priest yesterday told the congregation how scared he was to find out about the hundreds, maybe thousands of people, who flocked to the fire arms/ammunition expo at the SM Mega mall. He asked, do people really not feel safe in this country that they want to carry a gun?
Sanity, control. Even if morons, thieves, swindlers, dubious contractors and con artists swarm around you, do not lose it. Money will always come back to you.
Aggravation which you did not want in the first place, and which was caused by evil forces is not good for your health. If you were wronged, and it is not physical but just financial, don't prolong your agony. Just get over it.
An eye for an eye is not in the civilized nation's books. Believe in "karma." Whoever does a wrong will experience a wrong, in a worse way.
Imbibe the positive force around you. Inhale the green grass in whichever fence it is. Caress the pups, swat the flies (the real ones), clean the yard, sanitize the house, feel the heat of the morning sun, drink your coffee.
And feel sanity and peace return to you.
