After listening to the story from my friend Maddy; this is very clear.
I can't save anyone. Especially the deprived.

How can anyone be saved, when there is no true safety in today's world?
In this unpredictable cauldron filled with potions that influence our lives, chaos is the most prominent.

When a doctor saves your life, they may save your body, your mind, or both, from certain peril.
But you, a person, are so much more than that, right?
Bound by your past and hurtling towards your future, you are still capable of inflicting harm on yourself and others. A single action can still end a life.

Help and support is something that the deprived require. But where should it come from?
A place of understanding why they are deprived and we aren't, right?

If there is one truth above all, it's that everybody wants to be understood.
To be seen, to be heard. To be known that their existence isn't pit against the fabric of reality.
Nobody wants to feel left out.

That's why saviour complex is a biased behaviour, stemming from a distorted view of reality.
Even if the intentions are good, the desire or need to save implies the projection of ourselves as superior than the ones to be 'saved'.

The lack of understanding within ourselves about the people around us is the one true plague in this world.

We have alienated ourselves to the extent which we believe we have our limits to helping or supporting someone else.
But there's no point in attempting to save someone if we can't do something as simple as truly listening to someone. Most times, that's the best help one can get.

To experience empathy, to be understood by someone else of how life is like in your shoes.
Sounds like a dream now, right?

Is this what my objective should be? To show people that showcasing empathy may be the best way to alleviate the suffering of others and ourselves?
