Replacement

If there are never two things alike can there ever really be a 'true' replacement?

We replace pain with food, drugs, drinks, and so on. We replace a relationship with one-night stands, a rebound, or a shellfish binge. We try to erase but we can never replace because the band-aid has nothing to do with the actual 'thing' that was lost.

What is the act of a true healthy replacement? Is is all emotional?

And if there is no such thing as a replacement in life why do we focus on the holes they leave versus the new page that is before us?

A feeling without a name
With somebody else's face
In your head."

This song is called ERASE. You should give it a listen.... He talks about some similar things.

I think a replacement can exist in true form, but like you said it must be healthy. Anything unhealthy is just temporary, a quick fix. You will know when the real thing comes along. It'll happen when you stop searching. Put it in God's hands and see where he takes you....
