Thank you for keeping this very old post up and running.  I, too, am fatigued by empathy.  And yet, of course, I feel guilty for complaining  about it (what with all the true suffering in the world).  It’s a cycle I couldn’t seem to break, but this discussion has truly helped me to see a path towards a more productive (yet still empathetic and compassionate) regimen.
Though I run this site, it is not mine. It's ours. It's not about me. It's about us. Your stories and your wisdom are just as meaningful as mine. Click here to read more.
