Why is it that ‘time’ gets credit for everything? Time is unsympathetic to our cries for help and continues to move regardless of any misfortunes. Time isn’t some magical elixir, it isn’t some curing remedy, and it isn’t a problem solver. Time…doesn’t heal anything.Time does not heal all wounds and it is prodigiously insulting to tell someone that it does. All time does is allow ourselves to flood the brain with information. It is the introduction of neoteric stimuli that gives us different experiences and thoughts, which only help to diminish old memories, not eliminate them. People choose to heal the wounds by choosing to move on to new things. Time has nothing to do with it.
But choosing isn’t as easy people make it sound. I would move on if I could, but my brain simply does not allow it. I am reminded all the time of what I am supposed to be moving on from. The thing which ‘time’ is supposed to help me with. Time hasn’t so much as made a dent in the landfill of emotions that I still retain.
Time has no means of destroying perfection. It can’t. I can only hope to let perfection fade by camouflaging it with other, less meaningful stimuli. Maybe quantity can finally win out over quality.
But the one thing I know for sure is-- time does absolutely nothing but move continuously, regardless of any misfortunes.

Its a shallow fallback. Someone's in pain, "oh time will heal your wounds". Its a copout. I think people who don't know what to say in certain situations use that to say something.
I say, nothing is better. When unsure of what to say to someone, just be silent with them. Any words you have will not bring them as much comfort as just silently holding their hand. Or letting them soak your shoulder with tears. Just be silent. Don't ruin the effect with trivial words of false comfort. None of this "it'll be ok" or "don't cry" or "things will get better". No one can know the pain of another, for they feel it in their unique way.
Cry with someone, laugh with someone. But don't condescendingly tell them that time will heal.
