I have a saying posted on my bedroom
wall that greets me every time I wake and reminds me of who I am. It
says, “Be the change you want to see in the world” Gandhi. I try
every day to live up to that quote. I am not so foolish to believe
that I can single-handedly change this world that we live in. I'm
not that smart or charismatic, but I can change the corner I live in.
I can say that today I will make life a little better for someone
and maybe the good deeds I sow will flourish and help to change my
little corner.
It's funny these online blogs allow
strangers access to joys and sadness. Today I wish I could ease the
suffering of one of the bloggers that I follow. I feel her pain in
the words that she has written, and it tears my heart a little. She
is a complete stranger and why would I care? But I do. Part of my
problem is I have an overactive caring gland. I care and perhaps
that in and of it's self sheds a little light in the dark corner of
the universe. We should all care about humanity, when one of us
suffers we all suffer, even if we don't acknowledge that portion of
our humanity. Life is a cruel joke sometimes, I think the ones that
care the most suffer the most, it's like the universe balances out
somehow. To the blogger I wish I could extend my condolences, but I
can't. I've learned enough in my life to understand how some people
can misunderstand a simple act of kindness perhaps sometimes the
kindest things we can say is nothing at all. Sometimes silence can
speak volumes.
