Antiophidic serum

Making unusable the wisdom of a setback in your life is ignorance, is learning nothing and is to be susceptible to relive it sooner or later.

Some diseases are acquired once in a lifetime and, after healed, the person becomes immune to them. The venom of snakes, spiders and other venomous animals can be used as a counter-poison to the treatment of those who got their bit. It is not so different compared to human beings relationships.

There is always a positive side even in the worst situations. It is not very intelligent refuse yourself to see it through Pollyana's eyes. And it is not cliché to see opportunity in the difficulty. Making unusable the wisdom of a setback in your life is ignorance, is learning nothing and is to be susceptible to relive it sooner or later. And unless you are masochist, nobody wants to feel back the same pain, the same suffering.

People who bothers us will appear along our lifetime even if we try to avoid them and be at their environments. People like these are in every family, every company, every social class... The reasons may be diverse.

Then someone offends you, humiliates you, destroys you... You may forget the words, but you will never forget how you felt. There will always be a first time to live these bitter sensations – and situations like these are not few and there will always be a new one. The more you listen to your family and friends advices, read books, you will only really learn not to lower yourself after having seen the good side that the suffering implied to you after had felt it on your soul. This is when you develop the so-called immunity to it and that is why that is important to make use of the opportunity the difficulty is giving to you, otherwise, it is probable that you will end up making the same mistakes in the future.

When you are annoyed, you may end up learning more about yourself regarded to your vulnerabilities. You discover what hurts you and you can work on it and try to find a solution if it has a psychological background.

After some time, you find yourself in a conflict situation with a new person who is trying to let you down. Armed with the weapons you got from those difficult situations, you learn how to defend yourself and fight back. And one of the most curious weapons you have is one you inherited from an enemy. You may use the same words or even have the same attitudes of someone who hurt you because you know how much it hurts, the how much you bled. Perhaps Freud has already written something about the transposition of the pain...

With the sorrow, we develop our antiophidic serum, out immunity. With the sorrow, we discover our weaknesses to work on our spiritual strengthening or hiding them, or project them on the others. And remembering the sorrow, we may attempt to hurt someone in the same way someone had hurt us...
