Think of it this way: You are the only one living in this world. You can do whatever you want and have whatever you want. But is it all worth it? Who can you share your possessions with? Who do you boast to? And more importantly, who do you try to out do? Too bad you cannot do any of these things. Although most of us, at one point, wish we could live on this world by ourselves, we all have to admit that other people are essential for us to live. Through other people, we aspire to be better; we try to climb those ropes to outdo each other. Through our enemies we aim for something beyond us. Through friends and family, we learn how to be somebody; and, the people close to our hearts can help us over come tragedies.
All this said, one of the most important things to do is love one another. My latest tragedy has brought me closer to my family; and I have learned that the only way to get through tough things is to have someone walking with you though it. Its not always them knowing what you are going through that matters, but knowing that they care.
God created love, and through other people, love is shown. The only way to get through life, with all wounds healed, is through the love of God shown through other people. If it weren't for love, all our wounds would still be open, and would never heal.
The
family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through
life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts,
hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms,
inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving,
laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that
bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck
