WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER TELL ANYONE TO ACCEPT AND MOVE ON

💙💙 We love to throw these words around but...It is incredibly rude, heartless and insensitive to say to anyone who is in pain, hurting and has had trauma to just accept and move on.

💙💙 Accepting and moving on means you're asking someone to bury their head in the sand and not deal with the reality of things.

💙💙 You're discounting, ignoring and minimising how they're feeling in this moment 

💙💙 There are times one cannot accept the unacceptable

💙💙 There are moments when one cannot tolerate the intolerable

💙💙 It's dangerous to suppress emotions. You will either implode or explode. You don't want neither

💙💙 Moving on is a process. It cannot be forced on the other, just because YOU want to have things your way

 💙💙 Accepting what you see as an injustice for the sake of it, only breeds contempt, wrath and bitterness

💙💙 Injustices, corruption and all manner of evils continue when good men and women turn the other way and choose to just accept the status quo and move on

💙💙 Accepting and moving on means nothing has been addressed. The same issues will keep recurring 

💙💙 For us to grow, we have to look at where the cracks are, learn and grow from them

💙💙 Someone will not accept and move on just because you said so. It is at their pace..not yours

💙💙 What is painful and what hurts cannot just be swept under the rug like it did not happen

💙💙 Healing is not an event, it is a process. People heal differently 

💙💙 If people before us accepted and moved on, we would not have many of the benefits we enjoy today. The ones who came before us, were not OK with the status quo when things appeared blatantly wrong

💙💙 Healing needs people to be heard, and different views given audience. Many people in this world feel ignored and unheard

💙💙 It is easy to tell someone to accept and move on when you don't empathise with their pain

💙💙 Sometimes what is needed is not moving on, but moving forward through understanding

💙💙 What are you asking the person to move on to? A better environment and world for them? Or remain where their fears, issues and concerns remain unaddressed?

💙💙 Accept-ance comes with repentance and a genuine apology to the individual wronged, justice, and a firm conviction that the same will not be repeated, is what helps one to move on... otherwise the words are just hot air to the aggrieved
