"Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others." - Pema Chödrön

I popped in now and then, and spotted quite a bit of chatter about "monkeys". Maybe I was just unfortunate. Still, I question the need for that sort of intensity, seeing that sort of thing on a regular basis would make me even more agoraphobic than I am now.

Compassion is exactly the need for that intensity. I feel that by exposing myself to such horror, I'm better able to connect with other people who are going through intense pain. By protecting ourselves, we're shutting down an avenue of love.
