The Damage

When we fill a glass with water, we empty a container by the same quantity. If you agree with me, you would also realise how when we build, create or produce something, we use up some resources somehow or the other, like for instance, to make furnitures or produce paper, we cut down trees; to make a house we use bricks and sand which is nothing but soil from somewhere or the other; we make diamond jewelry, we dig into mines looking for them.

Similarly, in our lives we come across many people who are damaged. When we try to fix that damage, we use up our emotions, our efforts, our trust and so much more. Eventually we fill up the void in the other person's life while creating the void within us. Sometimes the person stays with us all our lives after they are fixed, sometimes they move on leaving the void behind in us.

Now in situations where they stay, somehow they keep sharing the emotions, efforts and all other resources that was once used up, to support each other. However, when they move on after they are fixed, you are left with a lot of damage within yourself. Let's talk about what happens after that.

Whatever a person has used up to fill the void in another person's life, they start lacking them. A person who used to trust everyone suddenly starts distrusting everyone they come across, someone who would earlier sympathize to a situation sucdenly becomes ignorant, someone who was once able to handle a situation with calmness suddenly becomes agressive at the smallest of issues. These are not their traits, they are not born with them, they are the signs of the damages.

Human beings are possibly the most complex and complicated when it comes to the mind structure out of all living things, add to that the additional dos and don'ts imposed by the society, along with it the 'have to dos' in life due to the regular responsibilities. It's not easy to handle a human being, and to top it up, if the person is damaged, life isn't going to be a smooth highway at all. We should know that if we fill a bucket with water, that same quantity of water gets emptied from another container where it was normally stored. Once the water in the container is finished, you need to fill that container from another water source in order to fill more glasses with water. Until that's done, an empty container cannot fill an empty glass.
