How many can not only "look" at a sunset, but "feel" it? How many really let anything touch their souls that deeply and can declare their feelings to others?
How many heard of the tragedy of 9/11 and were able to say more than a casual, "Oh that's too bad", if they had the courage to let themselves feel anything at all? How many can truly look beyond themselves to see both the beauty of this world, but the pain as well? How many laugh and scoff at the pain of others, yet cry when it is their own pain? If your own burn, it is so much different than if someone you do not know burns. How many hear the cries of the child who is beaten every night before they retreat to the realm of their nightmares--choosing the nightmare over the reality that is their life?
We can make the difference. We can choose to cause the joy instead of pain. We can choose to not gain our own pleasure in the pain of others. It takes an unselfish person to do this. Are you that person? Then tell me that you are!!! I challenge you to look at the world that does not just contain you. I look forward to hearing from you!!
