lets practice compassion
i guess there are many things that are, for the main part, socially unacceptable to speak about. a main one would be any type of fault. negative things are hard to swallow, so we, as a culture, avoid them at all costs. but, i personally think it's good, and crucial, to embrace these things. things that aren't easy. struggles. and one of the biggest faults that mankind as a whole is guilty of, in my opinion, would be the lack of compassion we have for one another. it burdens me. we live in an age where friendship and loyalty have turned so fickle, that there is no determining hardly if you've got an army of friends or enemies standing by your side! i don't believe it was meant to be that way. i believe we are designed and created to hold each other up. help each other. love one another. things like that. and these things are so simple. yet so uncommon. but, vital. i have to remember, that no matter what is going wrong or right in my life, i am absolutely unaware of the circumstances of yours. therefore - how in the world could i judge you, or treat you with disrespect. for all i know, my neighbor's entire world could be falling to pieces and all he needs is to smile. i can help with that, right? there are alot of things in this life that are out of our control. but one thing IN our control - is our attitude, our approach - let's practice compassion today
