Funny you should say that. I've been seeking closure after a bizarre sequence of events. I keep desperately trying to understand them, and trying to find ways to blame myself. No matter how much I pick at them or what way I look at it, it makes no sense. I have to accept I'll just never understand it, and that there's nothing I can do about it either. It was taken out of my hands some time ago, and all this self flagellation isn't achieving anything.
I can't get closure so I'll just have to let it go and move on as best I can.
TBH, I was just joking with that post -- hence the "/topic", closing it.
Closure can be important, but easily as important is finding peace with irresolution, because as much as we'd like to have life nice and easily tied-up into a bow wrapping the present, you and I, we're both old enough to know that there ain't always a happy ending, or any ending at all.
Sometimes it is important to let go, practice mindfulness, and live in the present. It sure is, for me. You will of course assay its value to you yourself, right? We each have different tolerances.
Whatever it is nagging at you, Rob, I hope you find your peace with it. Much love, brotha.
