Human beings will fail us this is just life.. We have to, as adults, develop the capacity to be there for our own souls as best we can during those moments and allow the sense of outrage, grief, anger or powerlessness to pass on through and mellow in time to a humble acceptance of life on life’s terms.. This is maturity.
Other humans are not our insurance policy and yet, in those moments when you reach out a hand to soothe me, when you let me know you understand my distress I feel the great healing comfort of empathy..
When empathy from others is lacking then all I can do is turn within to comfort myself. I did my best.. They did their best. Sometimes you just have to let go of it all and travel on alone.
