It is worth remembering how fragile many of the things that make life worth living are. Hope, love, dreams, confidence, empathy, positivity are all moods and feelings that can be damaged and broken by the simplest things others say and do.
If we saw someone walking down the street carrying a fragile piece of glass few of us would go up and push, barge or trip them yet that is what we can do with people's feelings. Hopefully most people would offer to help, to share the load or to walk ahead and make sure that obstacles that could get in the way are cleared.
So perhaps we have to realise that everyone is carrying emotional fragility that we cannot see, cannot comprehend, cannot understand. We all have our load so we perhaps should change our behaviour to make sure our comments and actions are designed to support not to undermine.
