There are many e-mails, articles and/or advices that tell us “live the present; don’t delay things to be done and words to be said until it will be too late”. And we say “that’s so right! I’ll do it starting from today”. But many of us have to find this out in the hard way…
We delay to say “I love you”; or “I’m sorry” or we keep the anger a little longer. And that’s because we got into it. “He/she will think I’m weak/stupid/I look too interested if I would say that now”. We learned to play the “society game”, if I can call it this way. The pride is important… and to make the “perfect” moves is important… We have more time to watch the neighbour but to hug, even for a second, someone we love. We are more willing to make other different things instead of telling someone “I’m sorry”. And I forgot to mention….Priorities…. We are full of priorities. Do we really have to wash the car right now or we can spare a minute to say a good word or to listen to those we love? We have an entire life ahead and all the time in the world. We’ll have time for many. But later.
And then we are at a point when we say we “didn’t have time” to say this or that, to do this or that and we don’t have the chance, anymore, to do them. And we start to regret. But it’s too late and that doesn’t help anybody.
Say “I love you” to the loved one. Say “I’m sorry” now, not tomorrow. Spare a little time to do, with someone special to you, what they like the most. Share your feelings at their time, because those who love you need that. There is nothing wrong with it.
With love,
Monica
