Dealing With Disappointment

We have been told countless times that life is filled with disappointment and sadness, which probably no one really comprehends. We adapt to the disappointment surrounding us, we learn from the sadness that overwhelms us. Some people deal with anger, disappointment, and sadness through tears; while some laugh it off. There a few handful who prefer to suffer in silence and place the blame on ourselves. After some level of rationalisation, we come to terms that we did our best and it wasn't really out mistake to begin with.

That's when the demons come out to play.

After self-blaming, the fingers rotate in a wild 360 degrees and find the closest person to blame. Are we that inferior that we blame the next innocent person? Or are we just fighting the demons from consuming our fragile soul? Ideally, we have to step back and "zone" out for a few days. The demons will eventually tire out. We would eventually be the rational and practical person, we once were. Do we forbid the demons from resurfacing, or do we change who we are? I, for one, like ourselves the way we are – vulnerable only to our weakness, yet strong in appearance.
