Other People's Problems

Everyone has problems, Some with which we can relate And others which we do not think That we could navigate. If we learn of situations Way outside of what we know, Then we hope our shock or Overwhelming sadness doesn’t show. Yet for problems more familiar, How we handle them’s unique, For one person’s best solution May not be the one we seek. It makes sense with people’s problems Not to argue or condone Since we each must struggle mightily With problems of our own.

Another fabulous poem that reminds me of Aesop's Fables for its wisdom. Poem tells a truth for all ages.
