We lessen the pain by caring (#2143)

We all know that this existence is painful a lot of the time. Not too many go through life with just a happiness most of the time. We are always challenged by forces mainly outside our control. So the right and good thing to do is to care about what is happening with us. Not just ourselves but others as well. Regardless of the poor choices we make we must allow for others to try to be a part of our lives. As well as we must not turn our backs on others because we do not condone their choices. Life is difficult enough when we are alone and if we then compound that loneliness with further alienating ourselves from each other we are only making matters even more difficult. It is amazing how many times that someone has come into my life and had some great solution for me to work toward in order for me to improve from my existing dilemma. If we can find a way to trust each other on some level we can then build upon that and see if we can't be part of a solution in someone else's life. I say this because our society is wrenching rightward toward and isolationist stance not only nationally on the world stage but it is also affecting our communities as we continue to avoid and disassociate with each other. The fear that is, is being manipulated to exist from little substance is part of the blame but also the lack of effort we all should be making to understand each other is lacking. We are just humans trying to get along and have some type of happy life without having to wear bondage in some trying form. I should not have to be beholden to anyone except out of a choice based upon a sense of honorably deserved duty. None of us should have to ask a "by your leave" from anyone as long as we are doing right by ourselves and others. When we integrate our lives as we should we should also find our individual and community pain lessens as well.
