compassion is abnormal

isn't it bizarre...

...that nobody finds it odd when someone is crying after a movie with some sad ending.

However, if you find someone crying in the bathroom in the middle of the day because he or she feels broken and hurt for all the suffering and injustice that goes on in the world, be it here in America or elsewhere, it's very odd. By most standards of sanity, that person would probably be regarded as somewhat strange and abnormal.

But maybe it's just the rest of us that are not normal.
