The empathy factor
#27
RE: The empathy factor
When I was very young I exhibited traits of empathy more than the standard young person. I'd worry about the pain of ANY living thing, from tiny insects to chickens.

 But I found that beyond the teenage years that will get hugely taken advantage of, especially when you're forced to mix with a fair few people who have psychotic tendencies of bullying, stealing, animal cruelty and so on.

I have no advice to give because I have 0 levels of practice or experience in being around people who are vulnerable like that, or having to care for them.

If the goal is to take your mind off things and to help you sleep better then I personally just put some comedy on youtube while I go to sleep or just before.  That kind of advice probably isn't going to change your life but it's what I do.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
