Lighten the load (from my doug eaton blog)

Pain is everywhere,
we all feel it weight
its oppression,
so when possible
lighten the load from those you meet,
it cost nothing to be kind
to hold back a harsh word;
so yes lighten the balance of the worlds pain.
There are really no strangers,
true each unique
yet our inner worlds more alike than not,
we can all be healers,
well perhaps we already are.
Empathy disallows the luxury of anger,
contempt cannot arise
for we slowly learn to see oursleves in others
all brothers and sisters
on a long dark hard road
so yes brighten the way it is not hard
just think
"how do I wish to be treated".
