Oh I wish I were dead!
There are so many people in the world who through no fault of their own go without the basic things in life. Food, shelter, love, income, family and in some cases even a country. Such hardship and suffering exists both at home and abroad. One thing they do all have is hope. Hope is omnipresent and deep within all of us. It reminds us we are alive and there is still a chance that things will get better. We cling to it as if our life depends on it because without hope there is nothing. We have all experienced some form of despair at low times and we can feel very alone. It made me realize how just simple gestures from those we know, and also from strangers, can make such a difference to our lives and ease some of the suffering. A kind thought costs us nothing neither does spending a little of our time with someone who is lonely. Sharing some food could be the difference between going to bed hungry or not for a desperate person. If we can be anything in this life, shouldn’t we be kind?
