Time didn't heal, but it anesthetized. The human mind could only feel so much.

About This Quote

Time didn't heal, but it anesthetized. The human mind could only feel so much. The mind is the part of our body that allows us to think and feel and it can be easily affected by time. A person's thoughts and feelings might feel like they aren't as strong as they once were, but they aren't any less important than they used to be.
