Sanity and I
ReplyDeleteIf the acute deficiency of EMPATHY is treated from the world and replenish the dwindling resources of respect and trust in the human society, the moments of madness would be very rare..
ReplyDeletemeaningless Human suffering...
MADNESS A MINDSET
MADNESS IS MEANINGLESS
meaningless yet allowed
meaninglessly exponential
EXPONENTIAL EXPLOSIONS
EXPONENTIAL DISTRUCTION
destruction of relationships
destruction of trust
TRUST THAT IT CAN BE TAMMED
TRUST THAT IT CAN BE MANAGED
Managed by the clarity of mind
Managed by the purity of heart
HEART WHEN FILLED WITH LOVE
HEART SOOTHED FROM ACHES
Aches of loss
Aches from the hurt
HURT THAT IS UNBEARABLE
HURT THAT CAN BE HEALED
Heal the wounds
Heal the disappointments
DISAPPOINTMENTS FROM UNFAIRNESS
DISAPPOINTMENTS FROM EXPECTATIONS
Expectations unreasonable
Expectation not needed
NEEDS OVER WISHES
NEEDS OVER DESIRES
Desires unlimited
Desires unfulfilled
UNFULLFILLED DREAMS
UNFULLFILLED DRAMA
Drama of a life
Drama needs direction
DIRECTION TOWARD A PATH
DIRECTION TOWARDS A PURPOSE
Purpose of life
Purpose for existence
EXISTENCE FOR SERVING SELF
EXISTENCE TO SERVE OTHERS
Others in the world
Others in suffering
SUFFERING UNLIMITED
SUFFERING UNACKNOWLEDGED
Unacknowledged pain
Unacknowledged suffering
SUFFERING THAT NEEDS HEALING
SUFFERING THAT NEEDS ATTENTION
Attention ...
Suffering...
may all choose...
a conviction for healing of a heart and mind
a conviction for healing a soul from suffering...sr
