Out Of (Our) Reach

A Story by C.J.G.

Just a human thought.

So many things in this world are out of our reach, mentally. We simply can't fathom the pain, or the happiness. We see the pictures on the news, we watch the passion on the big screen, we read the horrific articles in the newspapers, but no one can truly feel it all. Life is all about balance. Balancing your work and your play, balancing your friends and your love, balancing the tears and the smiles. But there's only so much you can understand. We try to connect, we try connecting our empathy with the reality of their sorrow, but we are only human. And that only takes us so far.
