It Matters
I was reading the news and came across a few sad stories. One about a child who plotted to kill her parents, and another about teens who killed their friend because he was "so boring" – and stabbed him 120 times.
Who does that? Why do they do that?
And then I read a story about how people don't receive proper (mental) treatment when they need it, or they are not followed up on appropriately and this leads to negative consequences.
It made me think. It made me think that we all need to have a sense that what we do really matters. The daily things we do might seem minor to us; things such as calling a patient, clearing away broken glass, not texting while driving etc. In actual fact, those very actions could mean so much to others. It could be the difference of a future and a life changed.
