That the pain of others is your pain

This statement may seem simple, but it holds a deep truth about our interconnectedness as human beings.

As individuals, we tend to view our lives as separate from others. We believe that our pain, struggles, and successes are unique to us, and that others do not share in our experiences. However, this perspective is flawed, as it fails to acknowledge the impact that our actions and emotions have on those around us.

When we witness the pain of others, it can be easy to turn a blind eye or distance ourselves from their suffering. We may think that their pain does not concern us, or that we are powerless to help.
