7. You have more to offer than you know.
Being a friend to them, even if you can't save them from the world, means much more than people realize. Just talking to them, being there to listen to them, giving a shoulder if they need it---these things matter too. Think about if you could help these two couples in some way, and there are hundreds of others out there just as deserving. Treating people with dignity, sharing small things that you can, kind words and a warm smile---these things are important and you can do this.

Don't feel bad because you cannot right all the wrongs in this world, or even in one person's world. Feel good about the little things you can do that make people feel good.
