The invisible bright sight

When you are at the lowest of the lows, few people believes that there is still portential in you, even your spouse may doubt you.
People dismis your ideas and push theirs because if yours were working, how come you are where you are?
No one believes that you will rise above that situation one day.
If they did, they would invest in you, a simple phone call, a text msg, a visit. Some times suport is not money.
People never believe you untill you make it in life.
Only when you are making waves, then they wanna talk investmenting in you.
People expect you to pull yourself out of the pit before they provide help.
Many people have died trying to rise above their situation and those with help were watching as a movie.
We, as society have learned to be numb to the poverty and lack we see around us, until it has something in it for us.
People wait until there are television cameras for them to rescure the situation.
Most people are not sensitive and focused enough to see beyond a smile, fancy clothes, car, goodcompany of friends and capture a person for who he/ she really is, and what is happening in their space.
Many people have collapsed and hospitalised because their bodies could not be stronger than their strength anymore.
Heaviness is at the shoulders of many, yet few cares to ask beyond "Goodmorning and how are you?"
Be in the habit of buying and sharing food or coffee with the homeless, not just drop and go as usual.
Invite a brother, sister or a family for lunch and talk without putting the musk on.
Listen to peoples stories and never say anything about yours, let it be about them.
At our level we all can do something that will change the outlook of the next person, it's not about money.
The signs are visible yet we pretend that we can not see them.
We point to the #Government, #Redcross or #Giftofthegivers
Let me have sight beyond what I can see.
