Do not grow numb to others' pain
Indifference begins when another's wound no longer moves you.
One can see so much news, problems, and drama that one ends up protecting oneself with coldness. It looks like a defense, but if the heart grows too accustomed, it stops reacting before real people.
You cannot carry all the pain of the world, but you can prevent it from becoming background scenery. A prayer, a helping hand, a conversation, or a decision for justice already breaks indifference.
The Christian heart does not live anesthetized. It looks at pain without morbid curiosity and responds with the possible good.
Key idea
Not growing used to others' pain is a way of keeping the heart alive.
