For example, I have a cut in my hand. Yeah, I don't— I did not treat well. I left it like one year. It is fully swollen. When it was a cut, you should be at least able to touch sides, only that part. If you left it for one year not doing, it is fully swollen, which is everything. Even a feather can come and touch, you will feel pain, extreme pain, extreme pain. This is the same thing happening with your emotions. If you don't heal them then and there, every single time there is a person is coming and showing you, you are pouring more to more to it. That's why some people are very emotional. You just say one word, the tears will be rolling down. They just broke down then and there. This is happening because there are so much of wounds like this, just storing it. The biggest thing what people can do truly to themselves is heal themselves. Forget about what they make or they don't make. They finally can live the true life, what you're supposed to live.
