Do we know to be compassionate when another may need our help. Do we know to recognise and hear when the signs be before us.
Or.
Are we so deep within ourselves absorbed.
Or.
Is it that when we see those signs we feign blindness, become selective of hearing for we do not wish to burden ourselves with anothers challenges. When sharing a kind word or spending a moment or two extra in a situation like that is seen as a favour , impeding on one space and time...yet before the company of that person was sort and enjoyed.
Apart from a person falling on bad economic times, there may be those moments when the loss of a loved one through death or  relationship failed, a child challenging, a parent not understanding, siblings cruel, friends few...
One cannot be on a euphoric high at all times. Some are more fortunate than others to know to deal with moments challenging. But, even those, need a kind gesture to brighten ones day.
It is very telling of people...how much they prepared to give, when somebody needs them. Worst of all be the impatience of family when turned to for a bit of their time.
What has become of that human streak that we were born with.

I sometimes wonder if certain words in the dictionary will become like the dinosaurs...known about....but not felt....legendary, mythological...
...words such as compassion, humility, understanding and patience...or will we all be unemotional...all cardboard cutouts of each other, no need to give of self for we shall not even know the meaning of feeling.
To make love will not even mean to fuck...for even fucking requires raw emotion.
We shall simply participate in a coital action with the main purpose of procreating.

But,  if i should be around i know i shall be a rebel hunted down by the unemotional for i shall challenge the balance of robotic coldness....for not a chance my flesh would not burn from passions deep....not a chance my heart would not ache at anothers pain or fall deeply in love with another....not a chance my eyes would not cry tears for another and even for myself

...i cannot imagine to be anything else than a human, rich in emotion.
