About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write.
Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground.

"Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself."
CHARLIE CHAPLIN
Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.

Prompt:
"No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of others."
Charles Dickens
Write about this quote in your Blog entry today.
------------
This quote suggests that every person has value and significance when they contribute positively to the lives of others. I think, however, not only the people lightening others' burdens, but also, every single human being has value. Or else, (in my opinion), they wouldn't be created. Even those who we think as the rotten ones are there to teach a lesson to us. We learn not to be like them or we learn what's hidden inside us while we are trying to deal with their behavior and other burdens.
Then, who knows, eventually and/or after being shown kindness, the rotten ones can turn into saints or at least decent-enough people. This is because compassion, kindness, and support shown to them might have taught them a lesson.
Isn't it wonderful to watch a not-so-good person becoming a positive and constructive human being after getting help! Kindness, therefore, is important because of this, and not only to those who are being helped but also to the person who is lightening their burdens.
