Although it is generally considered a joke, almost everybody (including you and I) one time or another has complained about socks that mysteriously disappear during the washing and drying process. The fact is that, when the clean laundry is sorted out, often fewer socks are found compared to the ones you had previously put in. Where did they go? Where are they now? No one knows. Many people tried to solve this intricate mystery but, unfortunately, so far no one has ever succeeded. Something similar happens to us with some of our feelings, beliefs, ideas, behaviors. We had them at one time and then, as if for magic, all of a sudden we realize that they are no more. Puff! Gone! Go back in time and remember when you were younger, recall how you felt about love (teen-age devastating crushes), your 'eternal' (or so you thought) convictions about society, the 'firm' judgments you expressed about your parents. Most probably very, very few (if any at all) are still there. You have changed and so has your perspective on people, on situations... on life as a whole. It's possible they might even change again, provided you are flexible enough and remain open to the possibility of continuous, never-ending transformation inside your mind and your heart. It happens in Nature and in the world all the time, doesn't it? So, in conclusion, where do your old thoughts go? Maybe they pass through a Black Hole and get together with the disappeared socks in a parallel Universe!!
