the pitiful
People will look at the suffering with pity in their eyes and not realize the pity they feel is for themselves. The sufferer did not decide to suffer, the decision to let them suffer is made by those that are not suffering. To convince themselves the sufferer owns pity is how they justify their decisions, like a slave owner judging their slaves as lesser. Just as the slaver does not want to realize the truth of equality, the people that are not struggling to survive do not want to realize the truth of their pitifulness in causing so many so much suffering.
In order for slavery to end the truth had to overcome the lies and in order for suffering to ease the truth again must be realized. Suffering will always exist as a part of life, no matter what we do our feelings will cause us suffering. In order to ease the needless suffering of masses of innocent people we must live by truth and not allow lies to be represented as truth. The truth says that the strong help the weak and that is how we survive. The weak are the old and the young, our future and our history lives in them. Live by truth and see strength in suffering not pity, or live a pitiful lie pretending sacrificing our future and history is just as right as slavery.
