Here is one of the truest things I have ever read:
"No one cares unless you're pretty or dying"
It's a sad truth really, but then again, most truths are.
Personally, I would change the word "pretty" to "gifted". If you're gifted in some way, people care.
If you're average or, God forbid, below average, nobody gives you a look in. You're just one more body in a very large crown.
But that's not even the worst part about that quote.
It's the "or dying" part that is really bad.
Because not everyone is dying from a disease or old age or an accident.
Some people are dying because nobody cared.
They care now there's a problem.
Or, in many cases, now they're dead.
But what if they cared before that person started dying?
What if they cared in time?
What if that one average, or below average, kid had one person who always cared, even though there was nothing to care about?
That's one less body in your morgue.
That's one less grave in your graveyard.
That's one less number in your suicide statistics.
But that's one more life.
Everyone cares when it's too late, when the damage is done.
And sure, maybe you can save a person from dying by caring.
Maybe you can rehabilitate someone and help them recover.
But maybe, just maybe, it shouldn't have been allowed to happen in the first place.
Caring is like pixie dust, it was there as a child, but wasn't there when the real pirates came.
