“People often ignore the misfortune of others, you see. The world is a heartless place but it’s not always because they don’t care. It’s sometimes because they are embarrassed, or because they don’t know what to say, or because they simply cannot bear to look into the eyes of someone who is suffering.”

― Aberjhani, Songbirds and Roses: The Unusual Life Story of an Unusual Poem
