Hurt

People get hurt. It's a fact of life. I hate it, I want to stop it but its out of my power to, and when people come to me about their pain I can't do anything about it but give them the same old words to soften the blow and pray for them. I know thats all I can do but I want to do more. I hate it, I want to take their pain all away but I can't because I'm not God. Our culture is designed to hurt. We make it so we'll get hurt. Why can't anyone see this? Why can't we just get our act together and do well to eachother? As is, we stab eachother in the back, give eachother false security in us and then turn as people need us most. We just want to be the most popular, richest, smartest, why can't we just want to be the best friends and love eachother unconditionally? Why is everyone so blind?
