In dealing with lifes experiences, we often learn the most about the complexities of life through the eyes of others. We see our lack in it’s proper perspective when confronted with a homeless person; we stop complaining about our flu when confronted with a cancer sufferer struggling to do their shopping, and we release the anger we had toward a friend for a petty crime when we are confronted by a lonely soul.
Arguably, though, we learn the most about life from those who haven’t experienced it for long.
A ten year old Chicago girl had this to say about divorce:
Divorce shakes you off the ground
Divorce whirls you all around
Divorce makes you all confused
Divorce forces you to choose
Divorce makes you feel all sad
Divorce pushes you to be mad
Divorce makes you wander who cares
Divorce leaves you thoroughly scared
Divore makes a silent home
Divorce leaves you all alone
Divorce is supposed to be an answer
Divorce, in fact, is emotional cancer.
