Person help: Four scars - Help.com

Four scars

one on each knuckle of my right fist. They tell me a story about myself. Together they tell me who I am and what I am. I think it takes the breaking of a person to make him/her realize who they truly are, and as happy as we can all be skimmng the surface of reality sometimes we all need to dip under and hold our breath or take an accidental gulp so that we can see how we truly react to all things extreme. Our nature is in our flaws, and our flaws are so intricately displayed within out perils. Its enough to make one hate themselves, to learn all of their flaws at once… to all of a sudden go from delusion to reality, from egomaniacle to self-depriciating. But in the end the balance is what sustains us, and like I said… to attain that, we must first dip below. I know who I am, I know what I am… I know what is wrong with me. I know the story of myself. I hope the scars never fade.

An act of anger which was a cross between embarassing and stupid.

I also have a scar on my left hand. True these scars remind us of a significant point in our lives. To some even a turning point. Good post my bro.

thanks guys, im glad you can relate a little. I feel a little silly cus my scars arent self harm or being in a fight… well… i guess its self harm in a way. But they represented a side of me that I never knew existed, an anger that I never knew I had… a reality that is now known.

U shouldn’t feel silly. The scars represent a personal truth for you, just like ours do for us. I guess exactly where they came from doesn’t matter as much as what it means to you.

I know of a Man who died who had 5 scars. The 5th one was to make sure He was dead.

Point is those scars must mean something to Him because He chose to keep them into the next place. So in a way those scars show what kind of a Person He is.

No lol, I just went to Catholic school for 13 years so… But I don’t think I should speak b/c of my views on it, but you raise an interesting point Matt. I didn’t consider that.

I agree that scars tell a story. so do wrinkles, stretch marks, pits, and discolorations. they’re all accumulated through living. the japanese have a term that somewhat covers it called wabi sabi.

as for one ever truly knowing who they are, my own experience is that the older we get, the more we realize how nothing is forever, not even who we are. times change, people change, and it would take a fully functioning crystal ball to know who one will be five years from now or even next month.

**I think the whole point about Jesus and the scars was to prove he died and was resurrected. thomas had to see and touch them in order to believe that it was really jesus.

sINGER! :D That was an awesome compliment thankyou! If ever could feel like what i said had any affect, had any advisory tone instead of selfish introspection… then I’d feel really good about it. If I could share it like that.

I dont think you’re selfish at all…lots of people can relate to you, I’m sure they ae comforted by you(one thing I learned from this site: you’re never alone) You have an amazing talent Snar! Do what you want with it.

I have a question…are you not being selfish for keeping your wonderful words from the rest of the world? that’s the only way i can see it is selfish

Yes, your post is truly nice! I know a young girl who has said just about the same. She is actually good with words, too. She was a cutter for some years, and she does not want to take her scars away. “They are a part of me, and how I became what I am”, she says.

But those scars are still symbols. Most people have other scars too, inner scars which are not visible. We are products of all our experiences and realizations, some of which have left scars.

Yes, some scars are not visible. I have them anyway, as most people do, and they remind me from time to time. I can learn from them.
But yet some of them I could do without, because they represent things I don’t even WANT to learn. For instance, if I am badly treated by somebody, that scar could tell me to not trust others. But I believe in trust, so I will be vulnerable to further scars in that respect.
