Society will always choose "facts" over human emotions,  climb up the ladder and brutally speak of depression like they didn't stir it. Humans will always act the spectator when their shoes are warm and they're standing far from the fire to catch any flame, we won't wish them to feel the heat at their turn,  just that no one knows better how hot the fire is unless the pot on the spot. If we learnt how to keep out mouths shut and try to feel what others feel, we wouldn't have so much blood on our hands, of brothers and sisters who took away their own lives.

And if they ask you "what happens to people who go through the same thing over and over and over and over again?". Tell them that they eventually get tired, from tired to numb, to empty,to feeling lifeless,  to dry, to nothing. Tell them that it's either they become what they go through or they come out something completely different from what they initially were. They change. Someone said "you can't go through a hurricane and come out the same". You cannot possibly gasp for air, for years and come out alive, something either dies within you as another grows, you become something else, something new, something foreign, something strange, something very unique,  too bad something you cannot recognize yourself.  Tell them that at a certain point after multiple years, or months or days, some die before it, they're forced to start over, learn how to live, learn how to smile, learn how to breathe,  learn how to walk or talk, learn how to be human, and that is only if they survive the fire.
