The concept of taking on other's
suffering in order to prove our caring is a learned behavior that usually only
creates resentment in the intended recipient.
This magical concept of alleviating
someone else's pain by suffering ourselves might work in stories of powerful
healers, but when practiced by us ordinary mortals it usually only gets in the
way.
No one who's suffering wants to feel
responsible for causing others grief.
Think about how many times you've heard
'this is hurting me more than it hurts you'…
Did it do anything to make you feel better?

An
opportunity to experiment with some fun
ideas...
PAIN ALLEVIATION BY OSMOSIS
Let's check this one out ~
1) Ask yourself if your suffering
really helps anyone else.
2) Ask yourself how and where you
learned this was a good idea.
3) Try this experiment:
Sit next
to someone who is going through a hard time.
Pinch
yourself - HARD!
Watch the
other persons face.
Did it
work?
Did your
pain alleviate their suffering?
