[QUOTE="Harry Haller, post: 152667, member: 14641"] I think I may have pinpointed a common feeling when I am helping or doing something that I feel worthwhile, namely I can feel the pain of the other party. I don't wish to feel this, but I cannot help it. I know my wife feels the same, especially for animals, as they cannot speak, I am not sure what this is called, being sensitive to anothers pain, but I suppose it is a major issue in not just being able to close my eyes and do what I wish to do. For instance, today has been one of those days, I have felt the pain of some of my customers, and in trying to do something about it, I am still here and will probably be here close to midnight. I do not want to be here, although I am quite content being here, I just cannot cope with letting the polish family down upstairs, who need their laptop to find jobs, or the lady who is recovering from a major operation and needs her PC, or even the chap who has just been released from prison, they all touched me, and their pain became mine. If I do not assist each person the utmost of my abilities, I will not sleep tonight, I will toss and turn. I feel my wifes pain hugely, especially when her mother died, it almost drove me mad, our animals, my stepson, but the two people whose pain I cannot feel are my parents, I suppose I view them as gods, as superhumans, who shrug off everything, but in the bottom of my heart, I know that one day, they will need me, and my brother, and there is a voice in my head advising me to prepare myself for that day, as when it comes, I will have to do for the both of them, what they have done for me, my brother, my wife, my stepson, I am mentally unprepared for this, the thought of either of them being in the sort of pain that can touch me is alien to my thinking, . So, the answer to my own question, when you can feel someone elses pain, you know you should help them, I would like to add that I am no hero, in fact many is the time I have wished I could be more hardened and not have these feelings, it amazes me how hard some people are, how can the chap in the photo above just walk by the young boy on the floor? but then I am dreading taking my wife to India for a similar reason, I worry that she will take a stand on the poverty in Punjab, and start loudly asking questions as to how people can live in so much luxury whilst not ten yards away people are living in abject poverty, I worry that she will start bringing stray dogs home, or worse stray people, all this is completely normal to her, she does not realise that in India, people have lost the sensitivity of such thought and have been immune to such images right in front of them, sometimes I envy them..
