A day of PAIN and SORROW

For quite a long time - I slowly knew and learned about some sad and depressing happenings in this world. Like, getting bullied everyday, people around you don't understand you, getting raped, families having no food on their plates for the whole day, no home to live to, no water to drink, neglected by their own parents, no time left to spend it with their love ones, people who have broken hearts, people getting harassed everyday, kids working in such an early age, suicidal people, people who always experience violence, people who feels like no one loves them, depressed and emotionally unstablepeople, and many more ...

Everytime that I hear a story about those types of happenings, I always feel this pain inside and a side of feeling lucky too. It's painful because I know that the person who had experienced it is really going through a lot and is really hurt. Feeling lucky, because I am lucky enough to have not been through those sad happenings.

Isn't it sad to think about all those things? People who has tons of wealth isn't still contented. Some people even complain to their parents for not having enough allowance, while some kids somewhere in this world don't have any allowance. Some people complains of having vegies for dinner, while some people which are sleeping with an empty stomach.

I know, that most of the people think that LIFE IS UNFAIR. I do somehow agree with that, but if I come to think of it. I am lucky right now. For having everything that I have. I feel so lucky and blessed, even though I have my own problems and such. But, there is always this sadness inside of me, which I feel towards to all the people who are struggling in their lives.

So I have decided to make time, and think about all of the sad happenings in the world. I will make time, and think about them. Pay respects for them, and pray for them. Pray for them to keep on going, pray for them to have strength to hold on, pray for them for their own good.I want to dedicate a day for them. Just 1 day, each year. A day of not thinking about myself, A day of not thinking about all the luxuries in this world.

Sorry guys, for I have written such a long post. I just wanted to share my thoughts and my emotions as well. Some people might find this insane, I may not make any change. But, sharing this - might open someone's eyes and feelings too - which would make them do the same thing as what I will do. This is one of my ways to express my love and understanding to the people struggling out there.

That's all fellas Thank you for spending a bit of your time for reading this. May the Heavens bless you all! Much Love.

i feel similar larra.. u're not insane.. the problem is that there is so much suffering and the way the media ans stuff portrays it has led to desensitization.. immoral stuff like killing animals for food n fur n stuff is considered acceptable by so many people n we're all slowly losing our ability to feel anything but greed and selfishness and no care for others..

we NEED more people like u larra.. u know recently i watched a video about animal cruelty in china and it was so horrifying it kept me depressed for days and all the people around me had to say was "forget about it" this attitude has to change n each single day i feel the same pain u do n its sometimes hard to enjoy things in life cuz i feel like how can i be chasing things or asking for more than i need when so many other people suffer so deeply..it hurts so bad sometimes its like im so desperate to just hug someone feed someone do SOMETHING to make it better but it feels like no matter what i do its not enough like the wrong doers outnumber people like us but then reading something like u wrote reminds me that im not alone and we're not alone we must keep striving to make the change and be the change we wanna see..

i respect u sister for the wonderful person u are, thank you for being you together lets try harder each day to bring on a change even if it means just praying for them people yes we can try to somehow send light and love to those souls <3

lots of love to you

Aww - Thank GOD! Another person who has the same vision as me. I totally agree and feel you. I have also forgotten to mention about those cruelty that is happening to the poor animals They get slaughtered for us to eat. I also think that the media is a BIG BIG LIAR too.I understand how you feel about those people who tells you off to just move on. My own family says that to me too. Worst of all, my dad laughs and insults me for my thoughts about not eating meat and such.

I am so fortunate to know that we both understand each others I respect you too because you are wonderful and thoughtful as well. And YES, Let us work hard together - spreading our thoughts about this.

Much love to you sister <3

I have come to learn that empathy is almost a curse. when I hear about things like that I almost feel like I go through it myself. I let stuff like that change my mood or ruin my day. don't spend your whole day wondering Whats wrong with the world. if you really can't do anything to change it, keep it moving, and worry about what's on your plate. and believe what goes around comes around. good things happen to good people and karma is a bitch in a red dress....

pardon my French

beautiful post, thank you

I what you mean by saying "almost feel like I go through it myself". I also feel that way too, but it's never wrong just to take a day - just 1 day of prayers and sympathy to everyone (human or animals) who have been and is going through their struggles. And - I'm really not wondering about what's wrong in this world, for myself, things that have and will happen has a reason. Most of all, I totally believe in karma too, it's really a total bad bitch x)

Oh wow - your new to the community? Welcome then! Glad to have you around. I am also happy to know that there are people who can relate to me as well. May the heavens bless you too! :D

I'm so glad I found this site. Not in a loooong time have I found so many likeminded people that I can connect with. I'm so happy you posted this. It makes me feel normal for thinking about these things also.

Bless you!

Aww - thank you for the sweet words I was just letting all of my heavy feelings out. Glad to know that I have somehow eased the heavy feeling that you have. Much love! xoxo

That was a beautiful post. Thank you so much for sharing. My heart is very heavy today and knowing I'm not the only one who feels a burden for the suffering in this world makes it a little easier to bear. Peace.

I totally agree with you and Jesse to not be feeling down for all the sad things that are happening. Just like you too - if I didn't knew all of these sad happenings I wouldn't be able to toughen up myself and handle most of my problems on my own. It had also opened my mind more, and made me understand things more deeper and made me appreciate and value life more. Hopefully in the future, I and people who has the same view as me would help our fellow brothers and sisters in times of their need. Thank you so much for appreciating me. Much love, xoxox.

It's wonderful that you're so sensitive and care so much! Like you and Jesse say, it can hurt to care. It used to really get me down, so I couldn't handle thinking about all the bad stuff that happens. Then I learned to toughen up enough that I can face the bad things, try to understand how and why they happen, and be determined to prevent it in the future if I can.

Sensitive people are the ones who care enough to want to change things. But if we let it get us down then we're not helping anyone else, and we're harming ourselves. Forgetting it doesn't help, because that is learning not to care. Turning that empathy into a desire to help makes it into a positive thing, no matter how much it still hurts to face the horrors in the world. Your day of prayer is a really postive idea, and I admire you for it.
