n'arrête pas

Has this happened to you? You hear bad news around you and you stop having fun? When something bad happens to a friend or family and you feel that if you continue to have fun, you are doing something bad or selfish? I have thought about it for long. If I am living a stress free life at the present moment, statistically I am very lucky. But we are all compassionate being and when something bad happens to someone we know, this compassion manifests as us stopping to do things we enjoy. I personally feel guilty if I do something that makes me happy or is classified as having fun when someone around me is suffering. Of course, nobody goes mocking the person who is suffering but why do we want to hide our "normal" life? I think it comes from the fact that I have not helped enough. And although the tussle still continues in my brain how much it is my responsibility to solve someone else's problem, I still feel if I can help "enough", I will be able to move forward. So if you are, like me, looking for a reason to keep living, keep moving forward, do it so that you can "help enough". Also, live your life so that person who is suffering can look up to you, and remember to do it in a way that doesn't mock them. That is one way they will slowly come out of difficult times. They will remember that hard times are not "normal" and will look forward to good times. I hope you have a compassionate person in life to look up to.
