suffering

you’ve

probably heard

about the

comes around

goes around biz,

the karma jazz,

the golden rule

 routines and parables,

stories about

how the mouse

took a thorn

out of the lion’s paw

to keep him

from starving to death

and almost certainly

you’ve seen

hundreds of movies,

even cartoons

which illustrate

the basics

about caring

about

your fellow

human

beings,

being generally helpful,

sharing in times

of their greatest need.

 what you do not know

about suffering and mercy,

about how paramedics

and other public servants

work to keep people

they have no other reason

to care about

safe.

 

 it’s even a job

paying a salary.

 that underlines the point.

 people will suffer

to help you.

 

what

 

are you doing?

think about it,

even when

you help your children

figure it out

means something

positive,

 

yeah!

 

it all helps.

the creator

works it like that.

 

when we stop caring

we are all

going to live

in that

same one room

…in hell

hope we’ve learned

about love by then.

all that goes on

if not love,

…will be

 

Suffering

…
