Guy: I think girls are evil. I know some guys are as well, but girls are more evil. What do you think?
\nGal: I think we are generally equally ‘evil’.
\nGuy: You think so? Well, I still think girls are evil.
\nGal: (thinking) Gosh, some gals must have really hurt him.<\/p>\n

Hurting is inevitable when a relationship crumbles, one way or another, be one a guy or gal. Especially after an investment of time and feelings were poured into the relationship. This could also imply to friendship or kinship.<\/p>\n

To avoid unwanted hurt, some choose to remain single. To avoid unwanted loneliness, others choose to stay together blindly. To avoid unwanted quarrels, some choose to separate. If we look carefully, it’s all our attachment, aversion and delusion at play… Let\u2019s not forget our pride as well (though it’s a play of the trio).<\/p>\n

If we can love selflessly, would we still be hurting? Without ego, one would be like a Bodhisattva or a Buddha, showering great love and compassion upon all beings – even if gestures of goodwill are not being reciprocated. If we are truly honest, most of the time, what hurts in broken relationships is often just our pride.<\/p>\n

How fast you recuperate from a bad relationship, be it courtship, friendship or kinship could depend on how prideful you are.
\nHow well you recover could depend on the size of your ego.
\nHow easily you forgive would depend on how compassionate you are to both of you.
\nHow truly you wish the one who broke your heart to be well and happy would depend on how much loving-kindness you have.<\/p>\n

If there’s someone that you have not forgiven or let go yet, it’s time to… NOW.
\nMay all be well and happy always!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
