Reunion - Chapter 51

‘Speaking terms’ sister so eloquently put it. “True reconciliation will only come with time,” she says.

Wounds fester over time if they are left untended. Healing injuries is far from pleasant and magic can only do so much. I find that ponies say time will heal when they mean that they can do nothing more. A wound may be cleaned and the dead flesh cut away but only time will tell if it is healing or infection that has taken root.

This fevered gash has consumed me once already. Sister says time will heal. I have been given time without measure but that does not mean time is my ally.

I've gotten used to reading these chapters and seeing the view counter say like 5 or less... Seeing a zero here :O what?

time heals all wounds a nice phrase but it needs the addendum "But not by itself". It's clear Luna knows both physical and mental wounds need proper care plus time to heal.

3035121 I know, right? And who was the "genius" who came up with, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me."? That is the dumbest and most dishonest quote that history has ever had the misfortunate of actually letting people use it. Physical attacks only hurt for seconds (or longer, if you're unlucky), but words leave a phycological wound that almost NEVER heal!
