This week I was reading and the phrase "emotions frozen in time" caught my attention.
At first I thought that to remedy frozen emotions a person should allow whatever emotion that is frozen to absorb the warmth and beauty of the current setting,
Then I realized the real setting is "frozen in time",
It is the "time" that is frozen,
To be frozen in time is to be locked into the past,
It would be to an advantage for a person to have a realization and an awareness that the painful parts of the past have been locked in time and should remain in the past,
Such hurtful feelings of the past do not have to be reexperienced in the present setting,
If we are in the tropics should we be feeling the bitter cold of a previous artic adventure?
That was a different time, and these painful emotions do not have to be reexperienced in the setting and environment of the now.
Time has moved on and so has the surroundings.
Our current emotions should match our current setting and not be frozen in time.
We have left that time in our life and we should leave the negative things of that time to remain in the past where they belong.
If we choose to remain in the past with our emotions we will be frozen to the enjoyments of each day and miss the joy of a new time and new surroundings.
