I don't know the best way to deal with the haunting memories. I still struggle with them like many others. One of my friends used to say, "life is very simple, it is we -- people -- who make it complicated". While he may be right, nobody wants to make their life complicated. It just happens that way like so many things that can't be explained.
People say that you always have a choice. The paths you have walked are simply because of the choices you have made along the way. Yes, in deed we do have choices all the time. Only thing is, we don't get to choose them most of the time. We were forced to choose by different means, which we do not have control over. Idealists might say that you have the control over your choices, but if one can live an ideal life why all these sufferings and pains ?
An emotional weakness is one of the natures of humanity. Being practical is fine. You can only be so much practical in your life. Being "only" practical makes a person robot, not human. That is my opinion and it has always been. Some people think that being practical is being wise. I say that it is just an illusion. The more you get closer, the more it disappears. You can never catch it. Such thinking is meant to be seen and enjoyed from distance like any other fantasy stuff.
I have seen many people in my life with different weaknesses at varying scale. Everybody has some. Even those who think they always take practical decisions do have weaknesses like pride, status, fame, ego etc including "being practical" being one among them. Like any other weakness, they could also be easily hurt and taken advantage of if someone wants to. When one can't be without any weakness, I choose to have the one that is closer to humanity.
