sometimes it's easier for us to tell people what to do. like it is simple to tell someone to stop whining and get on with it.

but maybe we can do more to see things from his perspective. then maybe we can understand his angst, his frustration.

because sometimes we are in a privileged position, where we are empowered to do the things we want. some people somehow aren't.

of course we can shrug it off and say it's not within our control.

but then again, maybe it would just be self-denial.

ignorance is bliss. people don't say it for nothing. sometimes it's good to believe in lies; sometimes it's good to lie to yourself. if it makes you feel better.

but that's all a lie of course.
