The Weight of Compassion

It’s challenging to watch a loved one suffer. We rush to alleviate their hardship in all the ways we think they need our help. Compared with them, our life is bountiful and we want to push the brambles in their path aside and bring them to a place of safety and peace. Our safety, our peace, where we can ensure their well-being. We feel better if we help them.

This piece is especially relevant to 2020 pressures including some responses of white people to the Black Lives Matter movement and the effect of social media hyper-posting on introverts during the pandemic quarantine.
