It’s up to us to feel those very scary things — a wrench in the gut; a stab in the back; the tearing of heartstrings and burden of mind — and while we suffer through them, acknowledge that their reality is, in fact, what makes us human.

But the sooner we seek understanding of our own personal battle, the more likely we are to understand the plight of another.
