Thanks Baracka, you said it well.
Felix? I am hearing you somewhat.
What I am hearing is the pain and frustration and the anger of having someone
you love try to leave you.
People that hastily judge others,cross them off a list, label them this or that,
are the ones that seem weaker and lazier to me.
I felt helpless, powerless, frightened, lonely & frustrated, and Abandoned,when my ex-husband attempted suicide
at least 5 times while we were married.
It can wear a person down after while, I know,
but I could never lose the empathy and compassion for what that
person was feeling.
When I hear people judging it as 'weakness-selfishness'
what I really hear, is the fear. The fear of going to that place of understanding.
Understanding what another persons pain consists of, makes us confront and acknowledge, our own.
