...how sometimes your troubles can harden your heart, but other times they open your eyes to what other people must be going through.
Why is that, I wonder? I guess I should be thankful for anything that opens my eyes, even at a high cost. I came here to learn, so I guess I'd better. I paid my ticket, may as well take the ride for all it's worth.
This may be the main thing I've picked up along the way, or at least one of the contenders: we've all got burdens, and we're all in this together, whether we know it or not.
This is something I've been slowly learning over more than forty, fifty years. As much as I may mourn my lost youth (too much, yes, I know), I sure as hell had no more than a sliver of a clue about this back then.
It would be great if all this was easy, but I'm OK just to know something's possible. I can work with that.
