While having a conversation with one of my colleagues today, he complained how it hasn't been easy for them to manage in the one room and parlour they're occupying now after moving out from a 2-bedroom and parlour. I told him that he's blessed to have a roof over his head because so many people live on the streets, open to all manners of danger.

It's really sad that the country we live in isn't doing anything to make living comfortabe for its citizens. People are going through tough times and no one knows when all these will end.

Even when you don't have anything to give out, showing empathy and speaking words of encouragement will go a long way to bring hope to those in difficult situations.
