The Real Teacher

It is not the wound that teaches, but the healing.

    Brilliant? Credit to the victim and blame to the Perpetrator. This is a really good one NP :)

    Good one NP,

    I have been thinking about something similar to this for a while now, it is nice to see it so well said here in print.

    OMG, I read your discussion before reading this aphorism. It's exactly what I was thinking, that the process of healing is where we achieve real insight and enlightenment.

    Brilliant. And never forgetting that there will not be any healing without wound, though there exists wounds that never heal, hopefully not many....

    I think the wound can teach, too -- I'll never touch a hot stove again -- but it's what you learn from the healing that matters most.

    The wound makes you regret why you did it. Then the healing is where the acceptance walks in. Very true.

    The wound, the healing process and the scar can all be teaching moments. After emerging from the aftermath of Sandy, it's comforting to find a new aphorism.

    The wound teaches us the meaning of pain, and the healing teaches us the freedom of forgiveness. Good one, Marty!
