I Couldn’t Help But Notice Your Pain

Isn’t it funny how many people seek the public affection of others, with simple things like Facebook check ins to hospitals or a status update about being lonely? In my crazy social networking injury-phase it’s made me realise the trends more obviously and reconsider where I dose my sympathy to others. I guess it’s just hard to give sympathy to people who don’t ask for it  even if deep down they’re hurting more than you know. I like to think I can tell the difference but sometimes judgement is clouded by things, like the people who want the attention and make you second guess others. As I’ve said before everyone has problems and the way you deal with them show who you are in the rawest element of your being, and how tough your character is. It’s just simple. When you’re hurting your goal shouldn’t be to get sympathy and empathy from others, it should be the strength to prevail and overcome these obstacles and come out stronger than before you entered these dark times. I guess growing up around people in pain has made me cynical, but it’s just what I think. The burden should never be shared amongst others, unless you need the help which is more a sign of strength than weakness. it’s just a shame that most people who seek sympathy do it for the wrong reasons, and detract your thoughts from the people who really need it. Take a moment to realise how your words and actions effect others, because sometimes jokes and simple things can effect others more than you’ll ever know.

Can’t we all just get along? No, but you can try, or you can think first at the very least.

Sometimes you just have to seek the smiles in the darkness.
