Refuse The Sadness

you never know

By LonerManPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Today I refuse to look at the sadness in the world. We try so hard to better our lives struggling to pay bills. Stay healthy and be loved. Its hard to walk past the many people you can just tell are struggling. The homeless and addicted are the obvious but what about the old lady who lives alone and has to walk in the heat with a walker to get her food. Or the eight year old kid who got himself up and is walking to school with nothing in his stomach or the guy driving to work who is battling health issues and cant take off to get the help he needs because he is the bread winner. I can sense it i can feel it I see it all the time And it makes it hard to not be affected. I sometimes resent my own happiness. I stopped trying to help. I try to convince myself that its not my problem and ignore it. To me its a reminder of how close we are to being in that position. How fragile life is. It can and is and could be any of us. So i try to put the good karma in motion. Not so much for me but for my family. I figure if i help a kid. Maybe someday my kid will need help when im gone and someone will help him. Circulate goodness. We all need someone. Most of us have someone and someone's. Can you imagine not having anyone.
