A Thousand Separate Lives. The Same Story?
There are many people in this world who only think only of themselves. I hope that you are not one of them. I hope that you are not abused by one of them. These people go through life with no care or concern for anybody or anything that they feel is beneath them. Many don't seem to pay attention to the fact that there other people on the planet. If they can't use, abuse or manipulate the people around them, then there is no happiness in their lives. All this type of person feels is a passion for what they feel is right for them and that there should be no consequences delivered upon them. They are wrong. I would like to tell you a story relayed to my wife about a relative of hers who has suffered tremendously because of one such person, her own daughter.
There are three main characters in this story, the young woman who cares for nobody that cannot be of use to her. The grandmother who has loved her granddaughter unconditionally and sacrificed her own life for the child's for over six years. The other is the grandchild who has been with her grandma during her entire young life. The reason that I do not give them real names is that, although the story of the lives of these three people is more truth than fiction, their story is not unique. I really don't like to use percentages, and the percentage I mention now is not in any way an estimate of these occurrences. It is said that there are seven billion people on this planet . Since everybody is so concerned with 1% lately, let's imagine that 1% are in the same position as the grandmother in this story. That is 70,000,000 people. Imagine how many people have even bigger problems. That is unconscionable. By replacing the words grandmother, young woman and grandchild with 70,000,000 other names and leaving the rest of the story intact and otherwise unchanged; you will have heard 70,000,000 other true stories.
