To perceive is to suffer.

Yo no soy tan fuerte. A mi me importa que me entiendan. Hay personas a quienes quiero comprender y quiero que me comprendan. Hasta cierto punto, pienso que es inevitable que el resto de la gnete no lo haga. Ya me he hecho a la idea. Así que no me ocurre lo mismo que a Nagasawa, a quien no le importa que no le entiendan.

What dooms our best efforts to cultivate empathy and compassion is always, of course, other people.

Those who know, do. Those that understand, teach.

...treat people with understanding when you can, and fake it when you can't
until you do understand.

I call him religious who understands the suffering of others.
