The beauty of pain, the influence of others


The world is so magnificent, filled with billions of people all suffering to various degrees A women cries out for the loss of a husband, a man is put away for abusing his daughter Such symbolic and heartbreaking events carry a silver lining A reminder of how society is and how one should behave Inspiration comes in all forms Pain is inspiration When I see a person suffering I am inspired to be a beacon in the dark, to shine when it seems like there in no hope People are inspired to be better, to act on selflessness, and join arms with those around them The suffering of the world unites even the worst Even the broken Even you and me
