Darkness

We often believe that those who have entered a period of darkness in their lives have only themselves to blame; however, the darkness is called such because we don’t actually know what lies within. Once the black clouds envelope someone who has made a poor choice, it can become impossible for them to find their way back home.

We must look upon those who remain lost with such compassion. Taking the first step into the unknown may be a choice, but not being able to find yourself once the light leaves requires the understanding and helping hands of others.
