Everyone else has it so easy. Why can't they share some of the load?

If you feel that the load is way too much for you, speak to whoever it is that can share the load within you and others to lessen it.

In my personal experience, I used to hide how I was doing. I put on a big smile and did what I could do so no one would know it was a bad time. It wasn't easy at all. Perhaps some times this is what we see - people looking like things are easy, when in fact, they are quite tough as others don't let anyone in to see the pain and struggle they are carrying. It would help if we each shared some of each others loads, but it's tough when it's all we can do to help ourselves. Yet sometimes helping someone else also helps us to feel better.

Often enough we only share the highlights of our lifes, not wanting to bring our friends or loved ones down, So on the surface it seems that everyones life is a summer vacation. Second our lifes, no matter how smoothly they are now, are REALLY complicated, and need focus. Thus we become blind to the subtleties of existence of others. What they do not share we do not see.

We don't always know what's going on in other people's lives, they may be dealing with their own things you aren't aware of. And as important as your problems are, everything is relative, if the hardest thing in their life for them is not having spare money for football boots, that's still the hardest thing for them. Compared to huge problems, it's petty, but people are mostly self serving, some people will help you, but avoiding comparisons, and remembering those who don't help you, doesn't help you. Think about those that do, and what you can do.
