Do you ever...?

Philippines
June 20, 2016 11:50am CST
The funny thing is, nobody ever really knows how much anybody else is hurting. We could be standing next to somebody who is completely broken and we wouldn't even know it... Sad but true. No matter how observant we are about our surroundings, we wouldn't even know what the person next to us is feeling. He could be smiling but deep inside he's crying. We sometimes forget to be polite and contribute more pain to what he's feeling right now. Be kind whenever possible. (c) Photo from Google images.

How true we never know what the person next to us is thinking or feeling.

@rachz_kisses Someone can smile on the outside and be crying on the inside.

I agree. We don't know how they feel especially when they are smiling just to cover their sad feelings.

I do try to be kind to everyone. You're right we don't know how they're hurting or if they are.

Yeah. Being kind that's the least we could do to others... some don't even bother to care.

Hello mate. This is very true. We should treat others kindly as we don't know their inner struggles and our act of kindness may seem to them as a ray of hope.

Correct. An act kindness is what we can give to lessen the burden they are feeling.

When some people are so good at hiding their true feelings, it is hard to determine whether they are sad or have some problems; but if they show it, it is best to sympathize with them.

Sometimes, one can live their own life passively, thinking that life is fine at the moment, while others might be struggling with some kind of life event that one is not aware of.

No, I'm not one of those who could detect if the person is sad. I tried but people just shove me off.

Then let them be. As long as we show concern, its up to them to accept or not.

Yes. Some people are good at pretending to be okay, even if they are not.
