Question
What makes you sad?
Solution
Seeing others in distress makes me sad. It's a moving reminder of our common weakness, an impact of empathy that brings us together. This emotional reflection may be strong, strengthening the communal suffering and highlighting that we are most human when we understand others in their dark times.
