I think it's a good reminder that you never really know what another person is dealing with. I think it's a good reminder of the pain of judgement and the power of prayer, compassion, and love.
My oldest recently read the book Hip Hop Speaks to Children: a celebration of poetry with a beat. Included in the book is this lyrical poetry:
Who Will Cry? by Antwone Fisher
Who will cry for the little boy?
Lost and all alone.
Who will cry for the little boy?
Abandoned without his own?
Who will cry for the little boy?
He cried himself to sleep.
Who will cry for the little boy?
He never had for keeps.
Who will cry for the little boy?
He walked the burning sand.
Who will cry for the little boy?
The boy inside the man.
Who will cry for the little boy?
Who knows well hurt and pain.
Who will cry for the little boy?
He died again and again.
Who will cry for the little boy?
A good boy he tried to be.
Who will cry for the little boy?
Who cries inside of me?
Let's be honest. Everyone of us is a sinner (Romans 3:23). Everyone of us has struggles at some point. Everyone of us could benefit from the power of prayer and love.
Let's not just imagine how things could be different. Let's change how we connect. Oh the power of compassion and kindness!
