A good friend of mine who has passed away (to a better place, I hope and believe) said how we are all "inadequate" because we can't help everyone
Sadly this is so true... . I applaud all those who offer genuine support and care to others while in such pain themselves. Maybe one day the "normals" will understand.... But probably not

With love

We're all human Fuzzybear, but I believe that anyone who reaches out to help another person (just one) is "adequate" valuable to the world and precious.

Fuzzy!

I'll take compassionate over normal any day of the week.

Which probably explains a lot about the wild array of people who end up in my life... a motley crew indeed, but I'm proud of them all.

Hi fuzzy,

Sorry for your lose.
Do we have to help everyone personally? I mean, even if we're only able to help 2 people in this world, this two people could afterwards help 2 other human beings each, this 4 people could then help... Etc. so in the end, we would have helped everyone.
Hmmm... Just a thought

I'm sorry for the lose of your friend.

Trying to help others is the best we can do. Whether they let us help is their choice.
