Move from Plastic Smiles to Authentic Healing
Hurt operates like a fishing rod, with the hook at one end for fishing and blaming others, and a fool at the other end. Its reward is unnecessary suffering. It is harder to heal the hurt of a fool than the hurt of an intelligent person. Heal yourself What should we do to remove our inner hurt? We are a result of our psychological programming. Our unhappy mind operates at three levels: There is pseudo-positivism; there are our past hurts; and the past hurts spin a world of hope in the future. We are unhappy and hurt, and instead of facing it authentically, we create artificial and plastic smiles and thus cover our inner wounds. This type of positivism has social decency but has false value. The danger of this type of positivism is that we are not healing and transforming but covering our hurt. Then this hurt is pushed into a deeper level of our minds. This suppressed hurt triggers our past hurts in the subconscious and they both start nourishing each other. Thus, the hurt becomes stronger with references to the past. Then the past hurt coupled with the present hurt projects a world of hope in the domain of the future. And one starts living in hope as a matter of survival. To free oneself from such a cycle is the context of yogic linguistic programming.
