It’s all fine to say, “Time will heal everything, this too shall pass away. People will forget”–and things like that when you are not involved, but when you are there is no passage of time, people do not forget and you are in the middle of something that does not change. John Steinbeck
About This Quote

If you are not involved in something, it has no effect on you. You can believe that everything will get better or that it will get better because you want it to. But if you are there, it does not change because time does not go fast enough for you to get out of it. So, what should you do? Take every opportunity to help others who are living in the same situation as you are so that when someone says, "Time will heal everything," they can have a better answer to give.
