“Adults are thoroughly schooled in this way of seeing, which makes it quite easy for them to empathize with others. Each teardrop is a source of pride. Young people, it's true, will also sometimes indulge in this kind of trivial emotionality.

“Reactive abuse is your fight mode being activated in response to abuse. When you are being abused, you try to defend yourself through lashing out, verbal insults, or even physically. The abuser may even provoke you until you snap. They then use your fight response to further blame you for the hostile relationship and claim they are the victim.”

“A man crushed by reality puts on a show of endurance. If that's beyond your comprehension, dear reader, then you and I will never understand each other. Life's a farce, so we might as well make it a good one. But real life is a realm that I may never reach. The best that I can hope for is to loiter in the memory of these four days, so steeped with empathy. Four days that count more than
five or ten years of my life. Four days that count more than a lifetime.”
