"Even wolves get broken hearts.
Even warriors cry." ~Melody Lee
Feeling such intense sadness,
we tend to think we're the only
souls on earth who've known
such angst, such sorrow. And
obviously, there are those who
have not.
Still, if we observe those who
wear their hearts on their sleeves,
we would see such pain, broken
lives, that perhaps our empathy
would awaken.
Sorrow is not a competition.
We have all suffered. We have
all known pain. Why is it that
we tend to think we're the only
souls in the world who have
known the depths of hell?!
We must be patient with our-
selves. Yet, it is important to
acknowledge the pain existing
in the lives of others. Again,
perhaps 'tis the birth of empathy.
May we all be more cognizant
of that deep sorrow that exists
in the lives of others. Could be
the birth of a kinder world . . .
