They say time heals all wounds, but that’s not true. 

As humans we can have a knack for striking a nerve in one another. When you strike someone’s nerve, that nerve could be extremely sensitive to the touch. You may not realize it, but that nerve is attached to a trigger, which is attached to a gun. So when you strike their nerve the trigger is pulled, and you find that you’ve been shot. 

You struck their nerve, and they shot you. 

Who wins in such a case? You would think the one with the gun, but the gun is still attached to seriously damaged nerves that have never healed. A better question is will the nerve striker stop striking? Not only that, but will the shooter stop shooting?

If no truce is called then the two could cross paths again one day. The problem with that is when the wounds from the person shot get patched up, those nerves often become defensive. Now we have two people with seriously damaged nerves, both with triggers attached to them.

So are we in for a gun fight when they meet again? When it all hits the fan once again? I mean, that’s what it’s going to be if there is any more nerve striking and trigger pulling. Will a guaranteed blood bath take place, or will someone seek for something greater than just defending damaged nerves? 

Damaged nerves that don’t heal right become triggers attached to guns, that will go on, causing more wounds in others.

How do we separate the damaged nerves from the triggers? Through forgiveness. Freely forgive. Unforgivness creates new wounds. Forgiveness disarms the damaged nerves and allows them to heal properly.

Some of us have had guns attached to our damaged nerves for most of our lives. Time never healed them, because there wasn’t enough forgiveness in us to stop shooting when 
someone struck a nerve. 

Perhaps forgiveness is a greater healer than time…
