We all have ugly parts. …How do we live with all the suffering? We see our ugly parts, and then we are able to forgive, love kindness, walk humbly.

Maybe I don’t feel what others feel. I have no way of knowing. But I do feel. It’s just that what I feel does not elicit tears. What I feel when others cry is more like a dry, empty aloneness, like I’m the only person left in the world.
