Complications

Life keeps moving all around you even if you stop. When someone dies, only the people around that person are affected, some more then other, but the world keeps on moving. When you see that the world never stops it gives you a true feeling of helplessness. Only the great people are recognized in death, but what makes someone great? What makes the person who died who is close to you less significant then the person you see in the movies? Why are is there not a news story or a play back of everyones life? Everyone has had their impact. Who has ever died that no one cried about? I'm sure someone died for Saddam, or Hitler, maybe the people were brainwashed, but the people had a feeling, that person was significant. Why do we know the day that Hitler died off hand? Why do we see on the news that someone has been murdered and say thats awful, turn around and finish eating our dinner? That person was significant in someones life. No matter who it is, or what they did, someone loved them. Even if they messed up in their life forgiveness is great. There is only so much you can do, and I know that tons of people die every day. But think about this. When someone dies, they were loved by someone, feel sympathy, but do not lather them. When something is going wrong in someones life, give them the time of day, let them talk to you. You never know when the last day will be. So do not beat them with stories of how your life is worse off because this and that, at the time, there is nothing that will make someone feel better then to just talk to someone about it who is willing to listen. Just listen.
