About This Quote
People love to talk about the latest news in their social circle. News that is shocking or dramatic enough that it makes for an entertaining story. However, this new information doesn’t always bring the best of people. As annoying as some stories may be, at the core of every one of them is someone getting hurt or suffering in some way. The best lesson to learn from all of these stories is that no matter how good your life may seem, there are always people around who are suffering and hurting.
