Just a little Christmas

Into each life a Grinch must fall.

Otherwise we might go right on living thinking life was good and sweet and reasonable and all the people in our life are that too.

But they aren't.

Some people are in too much pain to even pretend to feel good, let alone sweet, or reasonable.

And the sad truth is that most of the rest of us would do almost anything to make them feel better if we only knew how.

And I suspect they would let us if they could really imagine that happening.

But they can't, so they won't and it kind of puts everything else in perspective.
