The hardest distances people travel : A lesson in Empathy

1. The depth of despondent sighs to the peak of enigmatic laughter — a sign of mental disorder

2. From Marianas trench to the exosphere of Mother Earth — the number of attempts to normalcy

3. From the placenta of the womb to 6 feet under — the haunting cries of a mother

4. From “Yes, I do” to “No, please I beg you” 🙏🏾, — the wails, the weeping, the cries of a lover

5. From the confident “Yes, I can…” to the defeated “No, no more…” — plead the eyes of an addict

6. From “I love my life” to “I must take my life” — echoed in the muted goodbyes of an activist

7. The distance and difference between a narcissist’s complaint of loneliness to an orphan’s optimism of having a family of his own.
