Pity

Pity is one of the worst feeling someone can feel for another human being.

It's as if they stand on the clouds, in their perfect world, hovering above...and looking down on the poor creatures below.

I hate feeling pitied. I have more pitied in the last year than in my entire life.

I'm the divorced girl, with three kids...yadda, yadda, yadda...all alone.

But do you know what I think, when I feel someone dumping their pity glare on me?

I pity them.

I pity them for not stopping and taking the chance to know me, my situation, my story, my adorable girls.

And in the end, they are the ones who lose out. And though my life doesn't take place in the clouds, it's still a pretty great life. And from my perch, I can look out, and see the good, the real, the stories of others.

And how can you pity that?
