Only one answer regarding protect or hurt: Schrödinger's Cat 😹

I'm not sure if you're holding up a sarcasm sign with that answer. Are you? It does matter especially in times where empathy is so lacking and not nourished. If it gets overwhelming for me I tend to work on redirecting feelings and emotions into useful products or helping others.

Sorry my dear cuz I was thinking the right was in relation to the empathy issue. Humor aside I do think we ultimately learn valuable insights from every thing that hurts as well as everything that is joyful. I sound very philosophical today for some reason. ;-)
