you see, I suck at my own love life,
but now my sister is dating a football
player at Shippensburg University and
I am taking full credit. he calls me his
homie and I got him the hook-up, and
he is very welcome.
Compassion hurts. When you feel connected
to everything, you also feel responsible for everything, and you
cannot turn away. Your destiny is bound with the destinies of
others. You must either learn to carry the universe or be crushed
by it. You must grow strong enough to love the world, yet empty
enough to sit down at the table with its worst
horrors.
