A little more empathy.

Tears do not come easy to me. I get choked up at times and cannot speak because I am filled with emotion. Mostly it has to do with a beautiful memory or someone that I miss. But tears are usually just one or two out of the corner of my eye. I cried as a young woman, but I have not cried like that in twenty five years. I am just not much of a cryer. I get as sad or as happy as anyone else I think. I am moved as deeply. I just react differently.

This weekend I had an allergic reaction to something in the air and my eyes began to water. Tears. Tears, buckets of tears. It was the first time I had ever reacted so extreme. My eye lids became sore, my nose filled up. I was very uncomfortable. I slept a lot. I took allergy medicine. I needed rest. It gave me so much empathy for those who suffer allergies. I never really understood it. Now I know. 

Today I feel much better, but I am cautious about it happening again, so I will be careful as I go outside and about my day. But I start today with more empathy in my heart than before. Empathy being that ability to put yourself in someone else's place and understand their experience. Every time something happens to us we glean more understanding about the lives of others.

And we need to know. It is so easy to dismiss someone else's experiences. But we are all carrying something. We all have our reasons for being who we are. We have stories by the bucketfuls by the time we hit forty, fifty or sixty. We know things. And these things we know because we have seen and felt them.

And once we know we have more empathy. It opens us up to the lives of others. We see things from their side of the street. Even sometimes we might not like what we see, we understand why things are the way they are. It does not make it right necessarily, but we can see how it all played out.

And this makes us less judgemental, or at least it should. I always think that as a human with a brain, it is natural to judge. I judge all the time just to make simple decisions. I am judgemental, no doubt about it. I just know that I have no right to be. So when I find myself assessing someone else and playing the role of judge, I try to remember that if I were in their shoes, I might do the same.

Just this fall, over twenty years after my mother's death my sister sent around a little piece from the newspaper that my mother had clipped about just this idea. A little lesson for us all to remember that but for the grace of God, there I go. It is interesting what we can be reminded of and learn or relearn in just one weekend. And it is a good thing to learn, to be reminded, even if sometimes it is hard. We go forward kinder, more sensitive, more tender because we know.

I was a victim of a romance scam, whereby I got scammed of $130,000. I signed up to a dating app, I matched with a lady who works for the USA army, we started dating cause she was so loving, caring and beautiful, she approached me first, during this time I had already fell for her, so we started dating, after some weeks she told me she had been sent to an Afghanistan for peace keeping, on getting there, she told me she had misplaced her debit, I felt bad for her, she asked for my help with money, I was so in love I didn’t think it over I sent her some cash to eat, after that she asked help for her daughter who was in the hospital, I sent that too. To cut the long story short, she asked for my help a lot of times and I kept helping cause I really cared about her, this happened for about 6 months, I was getting tired of waiting so I told her, that was when she told me she would come over but first she has to pay some money, I so want to meet with her so I made a wire transfer, that was the very last time I heard from her, it was then I got to realized I had been scammed of about $130,000. The good news is that recoveryhacker101@GMAILCOM recovered my money and also gave me all his details we used to arrest him.

At first, everything seemed legitimate. The communication was smooth, professional, and convincing. I paid the required amount, and everything appeared to be progressing well.

However, things soon took a turn. After the initial payment, I was constantly pressured to pay more, often under the guise of additional fees or “emergency” charges. Each time I complied, they asked for even more money. Suspicious, I began to investigate their background, but they provided excuses for every question I raised. Eventually, I realized something was wrong and requested a full refund.

That’s when everything went downhill. They locked me out of my account, and no matter how many emails I sent or how many times I tried to reach out, I never got a response. It became clear that I had been scammed.

I felt hopeless and almost gave up, but then, while browsing various forums and blogs, I came across recommendations for DIGITAL RESOLUTION SERVICES. This group specializes in recovery services, using a team of expert investigators and professionals. Desperate for a solution, I decided to reach out to them.

From the very first interaction, their team was professional, attentive, and reassuring. They quickly assessed my case and got to work, using advanced techniques and their deep expertise to trace the transactions and recover my funds. Within a few days, they had successfully retrieved my money and even exposed some of the scammers behind the operation, providing me with valuable information that helped me avoid further risks.

DIGITAL RESOLUTION SERVICES went above and beyond, not only helping me recover my funds but also ensuring that the culprits were held accountable. Their transparency and skill set them apart from other services, which often fail to deliver on their promises.

If you find yourself in a similar situation, don’t waste your time trying to solve it on your own. There are plenty of so-called “solutions” out there, but DIGITAL RESOLUTION SERVICES stands out for their professionalism, effectiveness, and results. I highly recommend reaching out to them for expert assistance. They offer safety measures, recovery strategies, and guidance that are more reliable and trustworthy than other options on the market today. Save yourself the stress and take action now—reach out to DIGITAL RESOLUTION SERVICES and regain control of your finances.

As a quick trader and investor, I alwaysprefer jumping into investments as early as possible and waiting on it for goodreturns (at least most often than not). This has been the case for the past 7years until lately with the USA elections. A lot was at stake and real investorscan agree with me. Many made good money if they invested right butunfortunately, this was not my luck. A friend had introduced me to a new investmentsite which actually look legitimate until it was not. We talking about $150,000 been put into wrong fraudulent operation. Never saw anything suspiciousup until my money on this site started showing bigger fluctuations than washappening in the overall market. I had to think quick as something wasevidently very wrong. Tried making quick consult with them to get all my moneyback but was denied this. In a day’s time, I had been locked out of my account.Had to ask my friends to help me finding a good hacker for this. That’s when I cameacross TECH TASK HACKERS at email; techtaskhackersATprotonmailDOTcom. They dida commendable job. We are talking of recovery within hours. I got my money backbut really missed on a good investment. Take care out there and hey, seek help ifyou need some only at techtaskhackersATprotonmailDOTcom.
