HAND COVERS BRUISE

“There is something beautiful about all scars or bruises of whatever nature because it means the hurt is over, the wound is closed and healed, done with.” - Harry Crews

People get hurt both physically & psychologically. Wounds heal overtime and what remains of it all are the scars. On the basis of the ability to resist the pain the world is divided between those who openly express their grief & those that're very habituated in hiding them. 

“In an extroverted society, the difference between an introvert and an extrovert is that an introvert is often unconsciously deemed guilty until proven innocent.”  - Chris Jami

Veiling one's pain is not an easy task but only by practicing self control shall a person attain such a characteristic. These people don't want to show the world the degree of pain that they are in. Generally such kind of people are looked up on-to as cowards or extra-shy since they do not like to show the state they are in. Over time, even after the healing of wounds/rash-memories such people become numb towards the human suffering. Now the person doesn't feels anything & even if so, doesn't manifests it within himself. It gradually leads the person to a psychosomatic state of trauma wherein the person loses empathy for other fellow beings, which in-turn leaves a negative impression on the society. A book reveals more of the writer than the content - only to a trained eye; similarly - such people are a bag full of mysteries which only a handful can unravel. Pain is an expression of an emotion. Hiding emotions is an uphill task but having mastered it, the person can gain full control over its mind. Such people see the world as it is & their emotions don't envelope their judgement therefore, they become objective.

“Leave an extrovert alone for two minutes and he will reach for his cell phone. ”  - Jonathan Rauch

On the other hand, there are those that like to reflect their suffering to the world. The extroverts, like we call them, are much more verbalized towards exhibiting themselves. These kind of people tend to use their right hemisphere of the brain more efficiently than the former. Generally, they tend to be more sympathetic towards others. After all, empathy is what distinguishes us from the savages of the woods. The person eases those in pain & expects the same from the society. They have a constant craving for attention of others. Usually, it seems easier to read them but its not so, as it turns out, the extroverts are the most difficult to treat since the cat is already out of the bag - it becomes difficult to understand their true essence. Their pain shall be well-known to those concerned. 

Being extrovert or introvert doesn't changes the world. Being emotional or cold isn't a crime. We're all guided by emotions & to demonstrate them or not is up-to us. By displaying them, a person doesn't becomes a coward rather he/she shall lead a less-worried life. There are ways to look at a person: the person who demonstrates pain shall get prompt medication whereas the one that hides the pain will have to go through many stages of pain to obtain his/her treatment. So in a way, we all will ultimately narrow down to being an extrovert; but like I said - that's one of the ways of looking at it. All-in-all a person's persona is what he/she wants to be. Other's are there only to show/guide us through the door but we must be the one to do the walk-through. 

“We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.”  - Orson Welles
