You can call me "unsympathetic" or tell me that I "lack empathy". Both are true. One reason (not excuse but reason) is that I have heard or experienced enough in life to no longer "feel" much. The fact is that life sucks a lot of the time for everyone. You aren't special for going through trials and troubles. We are often disappointed and frustrated by unmet expectations and we unfortunately find ourselves on the wrong side of success. When we realize that our failures and challenges that we face do not define us but how we respond to those negative situations is what our life is actually about, we will experience more joy and we will also move closer to reaching our potential. "Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again." Nelson Mandela
