We are all human. We all make mistakes that can either make or break us. If you are lucky health, sanity and security will give the full strength you need to navigate those waters. You will learn the lesson and move forward to the next test. But if ONE of those building blocks is missing……. those waters can get rough. They can threaten to sink your ship.
I would ask you to imagine you were homeless, but you can’t. Nobody can even begin to comprehend that unless they have experienced it. It is a world of all your worst fears coming to life. A life of all the ugly nasty truths of how primal humans can actually be, being experienced all day and all night. Life is lived by each hour…..by each minute and surviving 24 hours is a blessing…..or a curse. This is All well health and sanity are fleeting. Security is non-existent and luck is just being able to waking up.
We have all avoided eye contact. Avoided and looked away. It is easy to Blame or shame them for their mistake, not once thinking that maybe it wasn’t THEIR mistake that created the damage. What damage was done to disable this human from being able to balance themselves. Why were they never taught proper ways to navigate the waters or sail their boat? If they had these skills, what happen to cripple them being able to use them?
Where do we get off believing we are so evolved that making eye contact and smiling is more then they deserve? Or is the real truth that we are just so scared to see where we ALL can easily end up? Health, sanity and security…….just one of those things leaving us is all that separates us. Other then that we are the same. We are all human.
I’m not asking anyone to be a hero. I’m just asking you to be what you are, a human being who has been blessed with balance. Make eye contact. Smile. If it’s received well, be kind. If it’s not, wish well and walk away. Most of all, value humanity enough to understand that wellness has not been blessed on them and that a wonderful human is lost inside the turmoiled one before you……….appreciate and use you balance because it can just as easily be your ship in those stormy waters ❣
