First Cry, Then Laugh


 You believe you are a compassionate person and you probably are. When you hear about a sad happening, you wish you could help. Every now and then you feel really good and would like to succor every needy person. You see the misery, the suffering, the wars that are afflicting the world and feel a flow of love and compassion spring out of your heart. You want to run out there and give your help, your love to all. But, after watching the news for a while, you change the channel and everything is forgotten. It exists neither in your mind nor in your heart any more. What made you sad disappeared and now you are enjoying the latest pop song or laughing at your favorite comedian’s jokes. Your view of the world has changed in a whim. This is how fickle the human nature is. Nothing wrong with it. It just is. But, maybe, it could be worth thinking about it, every now and then.
