"Human kindness has no reward. You should give to others in every way you see. You should expect absolutely nothing from anyone. It should be your goal to love every human you encounter. All human suffering that you're aware of and continues without your effort to stop it becomes your crime. Humans are always evolving. If you do one thing that if done by every human would destroy the world, that makes you Hitler." -Louis CK

O. Scott http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/06/movies/inside-llewyn-davis-directed-by-joel-and-ethan-coen.html

a second guess something's off something's not melding where do you find a logical starting place?

But should I be better than you? Why is your pain greater than mine? Why is his time more precious than hers?

What might happen? Will your life collapse in that brief moment you take to really SEE another person? No. You may even find you're not so different after all. And perhaps we all live the same stories. It's just that the details are different. This is from Mishka Adam's facebook post dated August 31, 2013

i'm gonna cry over you someday and i'll dread the day that it finally comes but until then, i'm deciding now that your happiness is more important to me than mine
