>>11287656>philosophical questions one must ask ones selfThis may help explain empathy I imagine.
Those who are monsters, yet never stop to consider their own truth, cannot know empathy.
Those who have needfully committed deeds that cause rippling reverberations, and feel remorse, cannot be placed in the same category. Their pain is just as significant as if they were the victim of their own deed, because, in essence, they are. *Someone* has to do it. That the burden fell upon them -considering the role The Universe has entrusted to each one of us- only proves that they were up for the task.
It is said god works in mysterious ways.
It is also said we are never given more than we can bear.
All this said, I suspect it is a sign of strength that those philosophical questions will enter the picture. Yin and Yang. Balance demands both sides are considered, or the weight will sink too far into the negative.
Everyone has a necessary role. Peace must be where balance lies. You cannot get there without greiving. Just remember that you were chosen for things necessary. Finding peace is part of that process.
