You never know the full scope of what someone has been going through until you have walked in THEIR shoes. Compassion is always a better approach than having a judgmental, critical, unsupportive, superiority attitude.
If you can't find anything uplifting and encouraging to say, then perhaps it's better that you say nothing at all. If the most positive thing you can offer is to pray with or for the person sometimes that can be just as helpful as an encouraging word. But it's definitely better than offering critical comments or a negative opinion with a judgmental undertone attached to it.
Remember...everybody is either coming out of, going through, overcoming or just on the other side of making a comeback from something....including you. The only difference is that some people are better at hiding and disguising it than other's. Yet everyone deserves to feel that whatever they are going through is validated and respected. Be kind to one another. No one likes feeling judged or invalidated. Especially when they are already hurting while working through their situation.
This is just a little "Something To Tuck Under Your Pillow" to ponder as you fall asleep tonight. Until next time....remember to keep your heart open and your LOVE light on. ~ Anna MsPoet Hendricks - Your Inspirational Goddess of Love
