Despairing

For those so unhappy sometimes our empathy is not enough.

Despairing

 

Sometimes I think to be kind is a crime,

For surely it comes with a punishment.

Those who do not judge will be judged,

And those that are cruel are free to do so.

 

Lies fuel hate,

And hate will eat your soul.

 

To those born of hate we gift compassion,

Though it is pity that we feel.

To hate means never to be happy,

Never to be happy is to never have lived.

 

Lies, hate, pity,

The agony of hopeless grief.

 

How sad, how very very sad ................

'To those born in hate, we gift compassion..."
Never was the Christian walk more succinctly summed up than that.
We are charged with spreading love, even when we doubt it will be understood or accepted, even if it means our rejection or even death. We answer to a higher power than societal norms, and you have captured that beautifully in these few words. Thank you, Manoosh, for the reminder! Mark

You definitely summed up the way life is, not the way life should be, but I think I detect a positive undertone all the same. Good work.

To hate means never to be happy,
Never to be happy is to never have lived.

Manoosh,
I LOVE this..
It embodies all I hold true in my heart. We must give of ourselves, extend the hand of kindness..
truth teaching is our reason for being. I am so glad you shared this with me!! Excellent my friend!!

Oh so true, hate only breeds hate and when you give into it then it is hard to stop... being kind can open you up to some letdowns but in the end you will find true happiness from those who appreciate your big heart.
