100 Words a Day 10


“Many say that I lack compassion, sitting aloof from humanity. I wrap my compassion in a cloak of apathy, for to do otherwise would leave me weeping endlessly at life’s cruelties: the child given up by a mother unable to take care of her, a man’s family left starving by his happenstancial death, the shivering pup unable to escape the torment of his capricious owner. Even the coldest, most dead heart cannot help but pump sorrow and bleed warm sympathy when faced with sights such as these. Casting my cloak to the wind would but condemn me to uncontrollable sorrow.”
