No one truly stands alone, for the soul, like a tree, is nourished by roots that remain hidden from other person’s view,
No one truly stands alone, because existence itself is a shared breath, passed from one hand to another,
No one truly stands alone, even when grief makes us feel like we’re in a dark, or makes us feel alone in a lonely room,
No one truly stands alone, because love will always find its way through the cracks in our defenses…
We are bound by invisible threads, that are stronger than any creed or flag we hold dear,
We are bound by invisible threads, that gently tug us back whenever we stray too far beyond we can reach,
We are bound by invisible threads, because being human was never meant to be like a long solitary endeavor,
We are bound by invisible threads, and severing them is akin to forgetting the very language of life itself…
The thinker must still experience emotions, for studying without empathy only creates barriers, not bridges.
The thinker must still experience emotions, to remember that understanding is not the same as care and empathy,
The thinker must still experience emotions, to allow intellect to humble itself beside suffering, not to tower above it.
The thinker must still experience emotions, so that philosophy returns to its core-like roots: for compassion’s sake…
It’s tough when you’re isolated, but healing reminds us that connection is the true remedy,
It’s tough when you’re isolated, until one hand reaches out in quiet recognition, bridging the gap,
It’s tough when you’re isolated, sharing your burdens with others reduces your emotional weight significantly,
It’s tough when you’re isolated, but courage emerges—in acceptance, “I’m hurting too, but I’m still here…”
Living well involves connecting and reaching out to others, offering help without expecting anything in return,
Living well involves connecting and reaching out to others, allowing them to provide support and comfort when we’re too exhausted to stand on our own,
Living well involves connecting and reaching out, as compassion completes the circle of human design,
Living well involves connecting and reaching out, and in the process of giving and receiving, we rediscover our true undisputed selves…
• No one truly stands alone
• We are bound by invisible threads
• The thinker must feel and experience emotion
• Struggle sometimes isolates
• To live well is involves connecting and reaching out
