I feel always to soothe another but there are times my pain to great and all we can do is share pain…beautiful question ❤️
That’s a beautiful thought, Brenda 🧡
That is the most beautiful question.
What’s your answer?
Compassion and kindness are uniquely human traits.Animals wouldn’t even have a choice as survival is everything to them.
I’ve found,as I’m sure you have,that soothing someone else’s pain actually soothes some of my own.Thay said, intention is everything and giving should never occur so that you get something in return.
You’re a lovely person have a nice day.
🙏
My answer is complicated. As a trauma survivor, my need to soothe others stems from a need to defuse danger. But my empathy is also so strong that I literally can’t ignore someone else’s pain. On very rare occasions I have to pull back but it’s always those times when it’s too dangerous for me not to. Thank you, Peter 😊
Others, always. it’s the humanity part of us to do so.
I’m afraid a lot of people have lost touch with that part of their humanity. Maybe that’s why the world is in such a sad state these days. Thank you, Styxian 😊
Powerfully penned, Willow. Others, I agree with Mark. Helping someone else face down their demons not only helps them, it usually helps us learn a lot about ourselves in the long run. That’s my experience anyhow. Great question my friend. Appreciate you.

I think it comes from knowing all too well what pain feels like. We want to help soften the blows of the world, if we can. Pain is, unfortunately, the common denominator in humanity. There are just a lot of people who have lost their empathy and compassion. Thank you, my friend 😊
