Offer To Share Someone’s Burden

Offering to share the burden of a friend can be the most important thing.

Feeling alone in the world is the worst thing a lot of us have to cope with, and the wonderful thing is that one of the easiest ways to feel less alone is to offer to share the burden for somebody you care about. It might be listening to a friend’s troubles, making dinner for an elderly couple, offering to look after a single parent’s kids so she can have the night off. It might be giving somebody a ride to work when their car breaks down, or sending a text message to a lonely friend to let them know you’re thinking of them.

The thing is, I think, when you’re thinking of somebody else’s burdens you aren’t so focussed on your own burdens. It works for me!

What do we live for if not to make life less difficult for each other? George Eliot
