I wonder, does having a hard life make you more humane?
Nothing teaches people to be humble more than a humbling experience.
Nothing teaches charity more than having nothing and being on the end to receive it.
Behind so many people there may be violence , but after so much fighting they know its not worth it?
Some will always speak their minds because they have been silent most of their lives.
As a child, my grandfather (May he rest in peace) always gave me money in a sneaky way and told me to save it. It taught me how to save something I have never earned, but always wanted.
When we work hard for the things we have, we look after it more than if we were just given the things we wanted.
We learn from our mistakes and grow, but without falling and that pain ... would we have less empathy?
The things that matter, that makes us human, are almost never the easy things, Well as adults.
As kids we taught to be a certain way, and when we reach a point of questioning ourselves,
and how we see what we see, and do what we do , its only then that we learn, its our troubles that
knocks us down a peg or two that actually causes us to grow.
Until next time...
