paradox

when a bad thing happens to us,
is it in our best interest
to rehash the situation
until healing falls upon us?

or,

should we instead,
seek to walk away,
never looking back,
and heal in the growth
of our progressive steps forward?

god is said to be the great healer,
but, he also to be considered the author of all things:
life and disaster.

does god rip us apart
like raggedy little dolls,
just to sew us back together again?-
all for the sake of what, exactly?
to learn/ grow/ love/ be stretched?

to what gain is this giving
and taking away,
and giving all over again?

not being cynical.
just wondering.
that's all.
