When you think of the hardest thing to witness, what comes to mind? To some, its witnessing something harmful or fetal being done to animals, to their family of friends, witnessing a horrific event. be it on TV or being there when it happens. But those events effect almost everyone in some way. How about something where there is no physical loss or is not violent? What if you had to watch someone you love be with someone else?
I was watching a video where this took place and made me think. What if, one day for some weird circumstances I had to go through that. Not granted, in the video she was already betrothed and she convinced herself that she had to go through with it.
But it begs the question; what would you do if you had to watch someone you love be with someone else? And here is the added kicker to the question. What if she felt the same about you?
I think, barring violent or loss of life events, that would be the hardest thing I would have to see and go through. I do not know how I would handle it.
At least when there is a traumatic event in your life, though horrible, you usually can move on. But what if there is nothing wrong with the person, but you still cant be "with" them? What if you are in a position where you would be seeing them on a semi regular basis? Be it gathering with mutual friends, you may be co workers, ect. It would be like a wound re opening every time you see them and there is nothing you can do about it. Now, I know after time, it will get more bearable, but it will still be there thus the same. A constant reminder of thinking of what your life could have been.
I believe that would be the hardest thing for me to endure.
