刘沧龙分享：【英语美文】同情心是理解他人的痛苦Weve all heard the quote, Be Kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.我们都听过这句话：“要善良，因为你遇到的每个人都在经历某种痛苦。”My husband and son died within two years of each other. From my personal experience, I believe that if we arent careful, grief can?/bec/become a rather self-involved process in which we can become so focused on our own suffering that we miss the opportunity to connect with, and possibly bring comfort to, someone else who may be going through a similar experience.我的丈夫和儿子两年内相继去世。从我的个人经验来看，我相信我们一不小心就会被伤痛左右，以自己为中心，我们会变得过于关注自己的痛苦，而错失和正经历相似痛苦的人接触的机会，也无法给予他们安慰。Six months after my husband died, I was sinking in the quicksand of grief.

As a nurse, it is hard to be on the receiving end of medicine as the patient.我也应该告诉你我是一名注册护士。对护士而言，很难接受自己成为病人并进行药物治疗这种事。The first three nights that I was in the hospital, the same nurse took care of me. She was young, maybe in her mid to late 20s, and she hardly interacted with me at all the first two nights, other than to give my medications as scheduled. She obviously had no idea how much emotional pain I was in. How hard is it to ask your patient how shes feeling? I wrote her off as a bad nurse who had little empathy, and
