Empathy is Mandatory -
"If I can't make other's lives at least a bit better, I have no hope of living a prosperous life for a long time. Even if I can manage it, my kids won't. Because if we can't improve the standard of living of a large group of people, there is little hope for humanity, and sooner or later, large-scale social unrest will take over!"
This month was really hectic, too much to take honestly but only these lines were keeping me going on and on. How pathetic it is when there is no guidance and every door you knock you get no help, no support, no guidance, all you get is belittling and wrong information. But, You know, I don't know why only these thoughts are keeping me alive and constantly telling me that Tahmina, wait, let it all ease, one-day things will fall together and it will be for good. For that one day when a child will receive a better life than me when many children will receive a better lifestyle and environment than me, then my life will be fruitful. Empathy is hard, but we only choose hard aspects of life, hu? I know we do!
