"caring about, enduring pain to do some good for someone you care about, isn't that what life is?"

is it?

is life just about the things, the people around us? is it not about ourselves? can we not be selfish yet find fulfillment with life?

Is it human nature to want to care?

how do we satiate the void we feel?

yet as we extend ourselves to reach out to others, offering up fragments of ourselves away, leaving behind that gaping hole, we trust they would do they same for us. But human nature dictates they fall short.

to fill that psychological void, we create an emotional void; hoping that others will care enough to fill it.

yes they may never mend those bits. but it warms the heart to know they will never stop trying to, at least for that small group of them.
