From flying to dying

Have you ever had times in your life where everything was just going so good and then all of a sudden you find out something horrible and your life seems to stop and your world seem to heave like a storm cast sea and you feel like you've went from flying and soaring like an Eagle, to plummeting down to your death, not knowing how your going to save yourself? If you've been alive for long you have had these moments. The question is, will you lose yourself in the storm and never be the same again, or will you hold true to yourself and fight your way back to the life you loved before it all came crashing down.
These are the things we need to think about, when we deal with people everyday. There may be a person that you have known for years that is funny and always smiles and never has a bad word to say, then one day, BAM!!! Their not smiling, the jokes are gone and they can only complain about life. What do you do when this happens? Do you judge them and get mad at them and gossip about them, or do you try to understand them, comfort them and try your hardest to bring back the person you knew before? It's very hard sometimes to put ourselves in other peoples shoes and try to understand them and why they act the way they do. It's easier just to shun them and write them off and not care, but if we are to make a change in our communities, our families, our friendships, we must step back and try to understand that people are human and they like us, have times in their lives that turn them upside down and tears their heart apart trying to figure out what comes next.
So, the next time you find yourself dealing with a angry, rude, mean person, before judging them and writing them off, try to step back and give them another chance, because maybe the effort you make investing your time and heart in them, may help them to not lose themselves in the circumstances of life, but bring them back to the life they had, before their world was turned upside down. Make the Change!!!
