Wish I Could Do A Little More

Knowing how people around me are suffering and yet unable to offer much to ease their suffering is really saddening and sometimes even fustrating.

I know how sometimes the right words and actions at the appropriate time can help immensely but somehow i am lacking the infinite wisdom of a enlightened mind to do so. But i do know that to join them in thinking negatively will not help as it will only heighten whatever dukha (suffering) they are experiencing.

All i can do at any point in time is to offer and radiate my slient wishes of metta (loving-kindness). Sometimes, they will offer to relate whatever unhappiness they are experiencing and i do my best to listen and if they are willing, offer some worldly advices or dhamma (if they do not mind).

So when will their suffering and fustration end? How i wish i could do a little more to help....
