the lives we see around us are not perfect

Sometimes I wish people could just realize one simple thing and then act on it. That would be to realize that just because someone is smiling and seems to have everything going just right, doesn't mean they are. In fact, most of the time something is wrong. But nobody wants to admit something is wrong, and nobody wants anybody to see them in their weakness. So, everyone else just carries on with their busy life and ignores the people around them who might need them most.
