I was thinking this morning about why we hang on to things that are no longer of use to us or give us comfort or have outlived usefulness in our lives. Why do we feel it necessary to keep things in order to re-visit or to remind ourselves of what was the truth, or who a person really was?
Are we so untrusting of ourselves and our memory that we need to have a dead sea scroll of the past events, recorded for posterity and clarity? I believe hindsight is 20/20 and there are rose colored glasses that we put on when looking behind us at what was.
It is precisely those glasses that distort our vision of things far away from us now. Keeping the scrolls allows us to look at things up close again - and see them for what they really were. It keeps the truth in full-focus.
Happy post Valentines Day everyone!
