weep

I have never been sympathetic enough.  Brokenness in others repelled me when it did not tempt me as an opportunity for advantage.  But this is mostly because I feared and loathed - and fear, and loathe - brokenness in myself.  There are substances that are weak once broken, and others that weather breakage and persevere.  God willing, we - you and I - have that persevering strength.
