Time Heals All Things: Not So Much, Not Always
By Frosty Wooldridge7-31-25
The adage goes, “Time heals all things/wounds.”
Let’s take a step back concerning that statement.
“The phrase "time heals all wounds/things“ suggests that time lessons pain over time. While it's a common saying, it's not always accurate, as some emotional wounds can linger or even worsen without active healing efforts. Time can dull the pain and provide perspective, but it doesn't automatically resolve deep emotional wounds. True healing often requires conscious effort, self-reflection, and sometimes professional support,” says Psychology Today.
A week ago or so ago, the psychopath killer Bryan Kohberger, who slit the throats of those four college kids in Moscow, Idaho—found himself in a 8’ by 10’ by 12’ prison cell for the rest of his life. I sat listening to the “victims impact statements’ of the family members with tears streaming down my face the whole time.
He destroyed four lives in the spring of their years. He destroyed eight parents. He destroyed dozens of friends of those college kids. He destroyed the emotions of relatives, college instructors and worse—-he destroyed those four kids’ future husbands and wives, their kids, the jobs they would have worked, the travel, the joy of being alive.
Kohberger did a number on my emotions because I’ve lost friends and family members to early death. I’ll bet he did the same to you. The sheer senselessness and horror of his actions defy a sane person’s imagination. While he sits and rots in that jail cell for the next 50 years, his life grows more meaningless and vacant with every minute of every day. How did such a monster ever set foot on this planet?
Will time heal all wounds? From my perspective, not a chance. The pain he inflicted on those kids, their families, and even the nation will remain as a life-long “dagger” in everyone’s hearts.
But then, here in Denver, Colorado, I witnessed the slaughter of innocents at Columbine High School over 26 years ago. Those two walking “insane asylum” teenagers destroyed lives and families that reaches into today because “time heals all wounds” doesn’t really soothe anyone’s painful experiences of that day.
