of time

We have read, been told and taught that time is the best healer. now, is it really? In a way, yes. But not in the conventional sense. It does not really root out the pain/ memories of the past. It makes you get used to them, focus on the present and look towards future. In essence, it is not really the time which heals you, but in fact, it "lets" you heal. All the work is upto you. How fast you recover is an index of your abilities and determination. Also, the wind may throw in some favorable events in your direction. All these just take time, that is all.
