Don't get me wrong, I encourage you to feel compassion. However, it would be impossible for all of us to know everyone's burden all the time, despite the social media age. <br /><br />Take comfort in knowing you have learned a lesson. It's in our human nature to want to judge; after all, we live in a fallen world. It is easier to see what we perceive as faults in others than to take an honest look at ourselves. I do it all the time. <br /><br />And I can't expect you to get to know everyone's burden, but man is this a chance to be something better than you were before. Thanks for sharing this story.

What...Everyone is guilty at one time or another. What's important is that you recognize your faults and want to grow and be a better version of yourself. These days most of what I read on social media is negative or just plain rude. Its refreshing to read something although sad, yet have a positive twist.

No one but my husband knew what was happening. No one in my work or my personal life knew why I was being vague about time spent at "appointments" or why my mood went up and down for no obvious reason. <br /><br />That time in my life taught me that you NEVER know what someone else is going through. My health is improved but that lesson is still with me every day. Even if I can't manage to be fully compassionate all the time, I'm much slower to anger and confrontation and dismissing the unknown than I used to be.<br /><br />Don't beat yourself up about your past action. All we can do is move forward with the lesson and try to do better in the future.Melissanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8337920558791954782.post-86881270696822312712015-01-03T12:30:59.309-08:002015-01-03T12:30:59.309-08:00Your most thoughtful yet.

My sister died unexpectedly last month aged 38. She was the most important person in my life and a wonderful human being. <br />So it was touching twofold this time to read your words.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8337920558791954782.post-8701645976520204862015-01-03T02:22:05.010-08:002015-01-03T02:22:05.010-08:00If it makes you feel any better, I can tell you fr...If it makes you feel any better, I can tell you from experience that you, your band, and what you guys create have helped ease people's pain, mine included. I think most people have been guilty of judging others without first trying to understand their situation. It sometimes takes a conscious effort to not do that. <br /><br />But another facet of this is the fact that he committed suicide. That's kind of a touchy subject for me. I've had friends who ended their own lives when I was in the military. Those left behind, this man's fiancé, his parents, his friends, they suffer now. It is tragic. I'd bet money that if he had reached out to them, they would have dropped everything to help. I'd talk to a complete stranger to try to help. I just wish more people understood that they really aren't as alone as they think they are, and you can't undo a suicide. so if anyone reading this is hurting, call someone. talk to someone. It helps. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
