respect others



when i see sufferings in others,
i would like to take them as mine,
i would like to feel,
i would like to wear their shoes,
i would like to be helpful.

now that i have finally realized that i can't,
that no one can help anyone.
and no one can be helped by anyone.
i found myself in dark depression.
since that "I" is still there--wants to be helpful.
how arrogant!

how about kill that "I"?
and leave suffering just like that.
see, feel,
and respect all karmas of yourself and others,
...one taste.
