Today’s Horoscope
All Signs:
Maybe you can’t save everybody.
Maybe you can’t stop someone you love from self destructing and save them from years of misery or an early grave.
Maybe no matter how much you try, some of the kids with cancer will die. Perhaps those starving people in Africa are going to starve no matter how much spare change you send them.
Odds are that no matter what you do, there will be homeless people sleeping on the street in the cold tonight. Drunks, drug addicts, mentally unstable people, good people down on their luck, woman hiding from an abusive partner, veterans left with nothing after service to their country, all out in the cold with nowhere to go.
Perhaps you can’t save every cat, dog or any other pet from a life of cruelty or a feral existence. You probably can’t help every endangered species or stop abuse at circuses and zoos and a million other “entertainments” involving animals. You won’t be able to close down every puppy mill or pet store or dog fighting ring.
You won’t be able to buy a new house for a family displaced by a fire or stop drugs from claiming our young and old alike or raise enough money for someone’s medical treatment.
Chances are you can’t stop governments and corporations or religious fanatics laying waste to whole areas and families because of oil or land interests, and so many innocent people unfortunate enough to be caught in the middle will die or lose everything they have.
People will still die and suffer and leave you and all your good intentions and hard work will seemingly be for naught.
The stars want you to know that it is not for naught. Just because the odds are against you doesn’t mean you don’t try. Never stop trying. Give it your all until you have nothing left to give, then give some more.
Because sometimes the people in need, the sick and the dying, the animals, the crazy people, the burnt and broken husks of humanity left just don’t have the means to tell you, but it matters so, so much.
So even though your heart is breaking, keep helping.
The stars want you to remind you that if you think it’s bad now, think how much worse it would be without the help you’re giving.
What you do matters.
