Life is long, and whether early on or late in life, nearly everyone experiences some kind of pain due to loss, illness, failure or disappointment. We go through our various life courses interacting with wounded people every single day.The ancient philosopher Philo of Alexander once wrote, "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." Life is not an easy road.
It is good to reflect on these things in our interactions with others. And let's not forget the many who are homebound, or families with a member in prison, or the many needy who are out of sight and out of mind. Our kindnesses make all the difference in the world for those who hurt.
Remember the wounded.
