Oh, that is very well put.
As far as moving on is concerned, it's not an automated option we come programmed with from up above, you know. People are different, and have different ways of dealing with things. Finding it so hard to handle loss is not a sign of weakness. Because loss is not handled the same way by everyone. If it takes one person more time and more effort than another, I don't think it's fair to attribute it to the person himself. It's not like he's telling himself to stay caught in the pain. Armaan's been trying to get out of it for a long time. He's been trying to bury it, but it keeps rising up to the surface at the slightest touch. And he's all alone. It's strange how that factor doesn't seem to count for so many people. 😳
Like you've expressed beautifully through the analogy, he's been at the receiving end for quite a while now. He had to snap sometime. I personally also think that it's a good thing. If the filling presses against its insides with all the punches it takes over time, the bag has to rip to let it out. And this time, there is someone who might make an effort to stitch it up...
Let's see what lies in store ahead from here...
Cheers! 😊
