My techniques to counter this fault is to cling tightly to my diary and write a lot of lists. A more recent
When our eyes are opened to someone else's pain and it's like our heart expands and feels too big for our chest. Reference: v.4 When I heard these things, I sat down and wept. For some days I mourned and fasted and prayed before the God of heaven. (NIV Bible)
