Those would be easy to get rid of! Instead they are bits of residual resentment, hatred, anger, guilt, and shame from injuries or injustices or mistakes you can’t or won’t or haven’t tried to let go of. Unfortunately these rocks are not chunks of shale or granite or sandstone. Why would anyone voluntarily bear such a burden? Some at the bottom you never pull out-you might not even remember you have them–but still you carry them. You often pull out some of the rocks and look at them. Over time, some of the rocks disappeared, but most didn’t, and by now that pack’s really, really heavy. After a while you followed their example and began to put rocks in there yourself.
At first you didn’t know what it was for, but then the adults around you started putting rocks in it that you then obediently carried around. Imagine that as a child you were issued a large backpack to wear at all times.
