“lately have thoughts of empathy for my mother and my father and feel the want to care for them both in old age. To reduce their suffering. How do I acquire the resources to do this when I was born with little power? Power can mend suffering in my brothers; my sister - all of my loved ones. This now reminds me of the worthineess of sacrifice. I might be an outcast. I might dance on the outside of society in search of meaning, truth, gold. In search of power. I then have the same thought, but now, for everyone else. We are all parts of one whole. At which point ought the well of empathy run dry?” — Juvens Dalger
