THE GREATEST PAIN....

The greatest pain in life
is not to die, but to be ignored.

To lose the person you love so
much to another who doesn't care at all.

To have someone you care so about so much throw a party...
and not tell you about it.

When your favorite person on earth
neglects to invite you to his graduation.

To have people think that you don't care.

The greatest pain in life,
is not to die,
but to be forgotten.

To be left in the dust after another's great achievement.

To never get a call from a friend,
just saying "hi".

When you show someone your innermost thoughts and they laugh in your face.

For friends to always be too busy to console you when you need someone to lift your spirits.

When it seems like the only person who cares about you,
is you.

Life is full of pain,
but does it ever get better?

Will people ever care about each other,
and make time for those who are in need?

Each of us has a part to play
in this great show we call life.

Each of us has a duty to mankind
to tell our friends we love them.

If you do not care about your friends
you will not be punished.

You will simply be ignored...
forgotten...
as you have done to others.

This poem was written by a young girl who committed suicide some years ago.
Please show someone you care for them today. It takes so little of your time to smile, give a hug, a word of encouragement or just to say "I care" You will be rewarded for sure:-)

Hollis, the world needs a lot of good souls like you who actually care...
Thank you for the beautiful things you post on ur blog & for always giving us positive comments. If someone had done that for the girl, maybe she'd still be alive...

We all want the same thing, love and acceptance. If everyone would just slow down and remember these 2 small things it would make the world a better place.
Everyday I go out of my way and do at least one random act of kindness for a complete stranger, try it, it just feels good!
Hollis you are a good soul.
Peace

If we all would adapt that attitude of random acts of kindness,I believe our world would be better off.
Thank you for your wonderful comment and I will do my act of kindness before this day is done....Hugs to you my dear.

How right you are.I guess we just get so busy with our own life that we forget to keep in touch with those we promised to always be there for....

Hollis I just spotted this post, I somehow missed this one.
I listened to the news tonight, and just turned it off after hearing all the hateful things people do to eachother. How can so many people do so many awful things to one another?? Then I turn to your blog and read the most loving and beautiful kind words, and Thank God that there are people like you that are able to reach out and touch so many hearts through this site. It renews my faith in goodness.
Everywhere I go, I try to help people out, especially the elderly if I see they need it. I sware at times I can see the eyes of Jesus in them when you look into there eyes. They are such special people. They have lived here on this earth such a long time, and we have no idea what kind of hardships they have been through, so I always try to offer help and a smile to them.
God Bless My Sweet Friend!

kd,
I too just turn off the news.We never hear the good things people are doing...The world is getting this way because we are not believing there is a God.....
Thank you for your wonderful comment and God bless you for being so good to our elderly.We can sure learn alot from them.
Blessing to you my friend.
