For a person who identifies as an Empath, this article hit home.

I have always been fascinated by all religions, and can learn something powerful from each. Even if I don't practice them.

Seriously hard to pick one quote, but the one below hit home. If you read the article, it will make sense. Even if you don't agree.

“Real compassion is expensive. It requires facing what you would rather not face, caring for what you would rather not care for, and building something real in a world that does not always reward that. It does not let you hide. It does not let you use the suffering of others as a position from which to attack the people who make you feel small.”
