Perfect World

In a perfect world, we wouldn't be able to do this.
Wouldn't be able to help.
Because there would be no help to be done.
No sorrow.
No pain.
No homelessness.
No... joy?
No smile at the sight of a toy care?
Of a cheerful wave, or caring,
Because they're already
THERE?
The book The Giver always sticks out to me, because I think it's so TRUE.
Without one emotion, we can never really experience another.
But how can we not wish for a perfect world?
How can we see this hopelessness, and pain, and not realize that for each person we help, there are so many we ignore?


And yet it's so insane that we're able to not help.
