Keep spreading laughter, please! That’s all we can do! (and we are good at it!)

Well, I am glad you wrote about this topic as most people tend to shy away from it. People are hurting for one reason or another and unfortunately, as our world spirals at a faster and faster pace and with less and less personal contact, we don’t seem to notice those who are hurting deeply. Once we hear people’s problems one or two times, our eyes tend to glaze over, we avoid them because we don’t want to be burdened when we have our own problems to deal with. I try to give comfort, encouragement and spiritual support wherever I can. There’s nothing more heartbreaking than hopelessness reflected in the eyes of someone who just doesn’t want to live. Although there is great truth and comfort in the statement, “This, too, shall pass,” unfortunately, it obviously provides very little solace for those who just don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. For me, instead of rolling my eyes and dismissing someone as annoying, I make a conscious effort to see how I can help. You never know – one word can make a significant or ‘life-changing’ difference. Many thanks for the post.
