"Two responsibilities you need to give up in order to ease other people's pain.

One is feeling responsible for causing the pain.

The other is feeling responsible for fixing it.

If you go into any interaction with the intention of fixing the other person, you're already doomed."

    I like that.

    I find that people when in emotional/mental pain don't really want you to be a problem-solver. They just want you to be a listener, and maybe tell them everything's going to be ok.
