Look beyond their masks.

When you see someone smiling or seem to look normal on a daily basis, do you always think that their life is great and fine? Or do you look beyond and wonder how they really are? People are so complex.. sometimes in order to reach out and help, we need to ask others, "How are you?" And if they answer, "I'm fine" don't let that response fool you. Tell him/her, "No really, I'm serious here.. how are you when everyone else goes home and you are all alone?" Maybe then that person will let the burden that he/she's carrying out before it takes over them.
