There are many types of misery out there but perhaps the most pernicious is watching someone else suffer and being unable to do anything about it. Especially when you love that person so much you’d gladly take their pain as your own. But that’s just not how it works. So you watch and they suffer. A special kind of hell for the empathetic. An opportunity to love unconditionally when that pain reflects back at you. But persist we must on this journey together.
