Even if inner grievances remain unspoken, a person must live with dignity.
Inner grievances, have nowhere to be voiced, tears in the corners of the eyes, no one to wipe away, pretended strength, no one to see through, sadness in the heart, no one to pity. One endures, perseveres, and carries burdens alone, not knowing when one will last.
Beneath the mask of strength, tears flow freely, a forced smile carries bitterness. Sometimes, voicing frustrations isn't for venting, but for seeking comfort, even a silent presence would suffice.
We all live a weary life, pretending indifference in front of others, carrying wounds that we rarely show. Because no one understands, we hide, because there's no support, we simply endure. If someone pities us, who would want to carry the burden alone, if someone helps, who would want to die stubbornly?
Inner grievances, if someone understands, can be cleared; the pressure on our shoulders, if someone shares it, will be lighter. Living in this world, we are not afraid of wind and rain, but most afraid of no one caring for us. We are not afraid of grievances and pain, but most afraid of no one understanding.
We live a weary life, burdened and exhausted, burdened bodies are nothing, a rest is good, a tired heart is hard to heal, not knowing how to remedy it. If someone who understands can accompany us, at least they can provide comfort, then the tired heart will recover quickly, grievances will not matter.
Those of us living in this world carry heavy burdens, we move forward with difficulty, overcoming obstacles, no matter what wind and rain we encounter, no matter what setbacks we face, we are not afraid of no one comforting us, but most afraid of no one accepting us. We don't seek pity, but we ask for understanding!
We may be poor, but we must have dignity. In dealing with people, we may not have power, but we must have a bottom line. We will not seek flattery or envy, we will never bow and scrape. We will never compromise our integrity.
We must live with dignity. Though not arrogant, we never humble ourselves; though not wealthy, we never become lowly; though ordinary, we never become mediocre; though tired, we never give up. Born as a human being, we must stand tall; living in the world, we must have backbone!
