Thoughts on windows and people

"People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within."
                                                    - Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
 
I think people are also fragile like windows, easily broken. Even the most beautiful, perfect window can break. We sometimes look at others and think that they have their lives together, free of problems, but inside, we're all the same-- fragile and breakable yet beautiful. There is beauty in everyone if only we look hard enough and long enough. We must be kind though because there is also that part that is delicate and precious inside everyone that must be protected, nourished, and fostered. That's where our light comes from that can shine in the darkest of times. We must never give up on others.
