Sometimes we wonder why we have to endure the things we do, the problems, the pain, the betrayal, the deceit of others when all we are striving to be is a 'decent' human being. Remember that although you may not realise it, you are an example to others and if your example of a decent human being inspires just one person to not cause harm, to not hurt another, to look at their own lives with open eyes and consider change then this is a good thing.

All too often we cry 'enough' and ponder that the next straw will be the one to break the camels back. Consider that times we need to break down, cry, say enough! and I can't do this! This gives others the chance to nurture us, develop their own empathy and sometimes we need to realise that strength isn't necessarily being willing to endure, be strong, be stoic but to be vulnerable, to acknowledge our basic humanity, to be the complex, wonderful people the universe wants us to be.
