Her Perspective

                                     "There is strength in humility and weakness in pride." You have this conversation multiple times a day... you know how it goes...  “How are you doing?”  "Great! And you?"  "Great!" ... Except for when it's not great but society makes you feel like you need to lie about it.  Have you tried to give a different response, a more genuine one, only to be shut down? Have you tried to open up even just a little bit only to hear in response “oh that’s too bad, I’ll be praying for you.” Yeah... I have heard that too. Then most of the time (depending on who you talked to) you walk away thinking “They probably won't be praying for me. They said that because they felt awkward and didn’t know how to respond.”  Or how about the time you told one of your friend something heavy you were dealing with only to be told the whole “well there are starving kids in Africa; it could be a lot worse” bit. Yeah… thank
