Sometimes, it's much easier to find peace within ourselves when we find the means to silence the inner-voice's constant "Why?" questions.
Especially when there are no answers. At least, no apparent ones.
It's better to accept that sometimes there are no reasons, no linear causal chains.
Sometimes, things just happen. They just do. Just like that.
Sometimes, you will be treated badly. Just so.
Sometimes, people will not like you. Just so.
Sometimes, no matter what you do, you cannot change people or situations. Just because it's life.
Sometimes, there's no use in mounting frustrations and a hoarse, broken, and battered inner-voice that no longer has the strength to pick you up, let alone persist in asking questions that aspire to enlighten. No use.
Sometimes, just silence, accept, swallow, digest, purge. Repeat the cycle until there is peace within you.
Sometimes, this is the only way to face your life and keep moving on.

Sadly, I agree. Acceptance is liberation at times. Let there be better purposes to serve and a better way to treat ourselves, where there is no other answer or solution possible.
Love and wishes.
I don't know if it can all be so thoroughly purged. Bitterness might remain. Figure out a way to wait without tormenting yourself. there's no need to rush for closure if you can control your thoughts. Postpone, wait, hope, be patient. Kind of an unattached pursuit. If not now, some day the patience will pay off. But don't keep thinking of that day. Just live on. Between the river and the rock, the river always wins, not because of strength but because of persistence.
Thanks for your kind comments, Anonymous!
Accepting and swallowing may seem easier than persisting at the moment, but in the long run is as painful as the other option. So try again, hang in there. The world did not evolve in a day. All the best.
I know what you mean, Rafiki. I guess I will continue to persist despite my frustrations and my "advice" to myself against doing so :). I really appreciate your comment. Thanks a lot!
No matter what there is always a tomorrow and the sun rises to fade away the night and the pain starts to fade. Even though we try to replay the memory, the conversation, the moments, those begin to blur and you know then that the pain has passed
Speak out the thoughts. Holding it in and allowing it settle does not work (atleast with me) Talk it out, ask the Why's and get clarity. Things are much better off that way. Immediate bitterness is sure to exist, but in the long run, is better than allowing it to fester in the mind, when it just mounts up and is sure to burst one fine day.
Very true, Perception. So glad to see you resurface!! Hope you're doing well! Waiting to see a post from you soon :).
I have asked enough questions, Appu :)...you know how I can't stop asking questions. But there are no answers sometimes. Everything does not have an answer. It's just the way of things. Acceptance is key - when you accept and move on, you have no more mounting frustrations, no explosions or implosions at a later time.
But sometimes you also need to stand up and grab life by the horns and steer it, as opposed to submission.
ok, Anonymous.
