My Favorite Mug

This narrative is drawn from one of the many stories I penned for my book, “End the Pain.”

I share it with you in the hopes that it may serve as a metaphor for the disappointments and hurts inflicted by life and people. It reflects the dilemma we often face: whether to hold on or to exert greater effort in the face of adversity.

I have many mugs, but there’s one I always use every morning for my coffee—it’s my favorite. Once, I wasn’t careful and it fell. I thought it was okay, so I continued to use it. Since then, I’ve been more cautious, not wanting it to fall again. But fate had other plans; it fell twice more and shattered. I attempted to repair it, hoping to use it once more, but it turned out quite differently than I expected. Each time I used it, I ended up cutting my hand and getting injured. The pain and fear of further injuries made me question, “Why do I still cling to a broken mug like this?”        

Sometimes in life, as with any kind of relationship, you try hard enough, maintain it, and are careful… but if there are still scars, endless pain, and you find that you can no longer bear the burden, it’s time to let go.
