Someone Is Always Worse Off

Life lesson # 286
Capstone class our teacher has the greatest thoughts to start off class. 
He showed us this population clock. 
In fact, by the time you have read this sentence: 9 babies were born and 4 people died. 
That means someone somewhere lost a loved one, a mom, dad, brother/sister.
The clock shows a lot of interesting statistics: like how many people just discovered they have cancer, how many were an accident, how many discovered they have diabetes.   
It is really eye-opening. 
Check it out. 
As much as you think you are the only one with problems
You aren't.  

2. I went to an assisted living center yesterday.
I met an elderly lady named June.  
She was lonely and appreciated our visit.
She made us promise to come back.
It broke my heart.  
Just remember that there is someone who is feeling more lonely, more sad, more sick,  more (fill in the blank) than you.
