I truely care about people. I hate for people to be in pain, especially if i cannot help. I have seen so much in my life that I guess I have a hard time understanding how people can be so cruel, it is a foriegn concept to me.
I can honestly say that the most baffling personality , too me, is the sadistic one.
But also, I understand about the grieving that people do even for strangers, with the candles, etc. I think it is just a way to "do something" to show that they care, especially in the face of feeling hopeless.
I can empathize and sympathize and some events are just more devistating than others.
I do know there are alot of people who genuinely care about others. But I have been conditioned to look for the "strings" when someone helps me. But it is hope inspiring to see honest true heartfelt compassion in the face of human pain.
