Billions Already Have Felt Like This

Billions Already Have Felt Like This

Millions, if not billions already have felt the same as you feel right now.

I think we should find encouragement in that idea, right?

People have hated their jobs, run away from home, done prison time, and prayed for their children for generations.

Parents were buried, business partners have been cheated, illness has cut short beautiful lives, and mental illness has suffocated family relationships.

What empathy we should have for each other!

The Bible points to this shared experience in Ecclesiastes 1:9 when it says: “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.”

Let us not allow their trails and takeaways to go to waste.

Understand: “The wise man learns from the mistakes of others.”

Whatever you’re feeling, billions already have. Feel for them.

-Sarah Manguso, 300 Arguments (Amazon)
