Something’s not right

Compassion

What's happening in the world when your own family knows your suffering badly and just leaves you to rot. Does this make me a bad person that know one cares enough. , I must be a horrid person right, I'm left to struggling through by myself. Or is it that just everyonev has their own issues. Why can't people reach out even if they are stressed or busy. Is this the society we live in now. ??? It's so me me me. What happened to all of us looking after each other showing compassion understanding empathy and solidarity. Going to visit or send a text message would be nice. It takes 5 seconds to send a text message! people deep down feel guilt or remorse that they ignore suffering and deal with that shame by blaming the other person or make an excuse but really it's just avoidance. Or it's like it's not my problem. You need to pull yourself together. Get a team of professionals to look after you. That's just outsourcing. It's actually shameful when I think about it because professionals are great but they don't love and care about you as a family should. We as a society are heading in such an uncaring hard hearted way it blows me over. Rreaching out even when you feel crap or too busy should be something humans do naturally. Some do I concede but a lot of time people just look away. Why is that. What happened?? if you have a loving caring family and good friends lucky you but if you don't and are all alone. I'm sorry.

It does that. And makes the world look like a pure black place. When im in my deepest lows I hate the world and think everyone is just ugly. I just can't deal with anything and it just does my head in.

Something I've done to try and not make me think the world is black is give to the world. I want to do charity work but no way I can so I donate items to charity's. I find churches that have feeding programs and make pre made meals. Make school pacs for kids at last chance schools. I don't have to be in contact with people as I find them the worse but I'm giving love to the world.

I also read books on people who have changed the world for the best. It gives me courage there can be a change in the world.

Hi @esprit@Former-Member all,

There is still good people out there who are compassionate but it is getting rarer for sure. Being a society that is becoming faster, more pressured, more stressful, greedier, losing values, less trusting of each other - where disrespect and narcissism is on the rise - It definitely is rarer but out there.

I noticed the lack of compassion for those whom were struggling and in a dark place quite a few years ago. So I decided to give back to society where I could and fill that void. Being that which I saw was lacking in society - genuine compassion. Something acquired only through ones own suffering - it can't be learnt from a book.

Sometimes what I do makes a difference, sometimes it goes unappreciated and does not; but all we can do is our best. And if helps a few along the way our lives and the world is that bit better...Wishing you all healing, love and peace
