About This Quote
To be haunted is to glimpse a truth that might best be hidden. When someone is haunted by an event from their past, they are forced to confront the truth of that event. Often, this can cause them great pain. However, having faced that pain, they should no longer live in fear of the event or of other similar events happening in the future.
