Greetings everyone,

Lately I have been sadden by the amount of people I have heard hurt by
other people actions or words. I know this isnt a new thing, I have been
always there for people ever since I first became a novice Druidess at
the age of 18. I know more people walk the roads of Sapience now and
with more people such things arent uncommon. I know that I myself am not
innocent of hurting other people's feelings, but never did I set out to
hurt someone intentionally. We all have emotions, unless your one of the
few that can suppress every thought or feeling you have and become
almost like a zombie you will hurt other people and you will be hurt by
other people.

I do not write this post to put a end to all the hurt and pain in the
world, that is impossible. I post as the proud founder of The Hugs
Foundation, I post as a proud honourary member of Seeking Tarah, I post
as a dear friend to many of you. I post to ask.. no, more plead with
those of you out there that care. It takes so little to hurt someone,
but it also takes so little to make someone smile, feel loved, wanted.
No one should have to take time away or leave Sapience for good.

I can not give the words to tell any of you what you can do to help
someone you care about. You all know in your heart what to do if you
care. I know these words will fall on many deaf ears and really those of
you out there that will listen already know such things. There is no
reason to be cruel or nasty or unkind. There is no reason to go out and
hurt people just because you can and to not cause pain isnt a sign of
weakness. Hurting peoples feelings is easy, staying with them for hours
comforting them, listening to them pour out their troubles, always been
there for them and giving them whatever they need, they are the true
sign of strength in my book.

I love you all dearly, stay safe, be well and look out for each other.
If everyone puts everyone else first, and then themselves second, you
will have many people looking out for you instead of just yourself.

Amara
