Honest curiosity at this point. Do you ever feel sorry for anyone? Like when you see those commercials on TV about sending money to poor children in Africa or something. And they show all these little children living in poverty. Does it hurt your heart in any way to see that?
Oh and for the record, I don't have depression.
Yes, I can feel sorry for a very few people. But kid's in Africa are not among those people. I don't bare them any ill will, I'm just indifferent. I can't care about them anymore than you could not care about them, I imagine.
