Never feel bad for feeling empathy for anyone or anything.
It is the universal current of life.

The being that can truly experience empathy is a precious gift.

I just saw a news story titled: “Is the West over?” Meaning is the concept that a Western country or “superpower” is a thing of the past.
Personally? The “west” is just a direction. It has no more meaning than north, south, or east.

If there is any validity to the axiom "hurt people hurt people", then the opposite axiom: "Healed people heal people", must also be worth considering

I just saw the image of the lead singer from the '80s group Simple Minds, and he looked very old, and I realized I haven't seen him in a very, very long time. Then I remembered his group did the song “Don't You Forget About Me,” and I realized that I had.
