While inside the grocery store today, I watched as a woman pushed a shopping cart with three young children clinging on to her. Although she was about thirty, I could see lines of worry in her face. Their clothes were dirty and their cart was almost empty. They obviously weren't well off. One child wailed as her brother pinched her and the mother snapped at the little boy "You know better than that!". She obviously wasn't leading an easy life.
I wondered what was going on inside her head and it struck me how our minds must be like parallel universes. The things that I spend most of my days thinking about, have never crossed her mind and vice versa. The people who mean the world to me, she has never met.
I wish I could share that woman's pain, but then again, I wouldn't be able to stop there; there are probably millions of people in the world worse off than me, and as much as I want to, I wouldn't be able to share with everyone.
There's nothing worse than watching somebody else suffer.

and so you see I have come to doubt everything I once held as true, I stand alone without beliefs, the only truth I know is you (simonandgarfunkel).
