I feel

I can litteraly feel the pain of the nation. Sometimes it feels like the pains of the whole world really. I'm tired and all I want to do is help. I feel so bad for Iowa and want to help so bad. The sorrow I felt and cries for help are so loud right now, that I haven't slept since Saturday morning. I don't even know these people, but my heart just goes out to anyone hurting right now. I'm just... Solost.

Extraverted feeling, in Jungian terms. About one in every eight of us have brains wired that way. I feel you. Believe it or not, it gets stronger as you get older. You can and do feel the pain of the world, and you’re probably a healer (of some kind) because you want the pain of the world to go away (so that you don’t have to feel it). The advantage is that you can feel the love and joy of the world more intensely than those whose minds are wired differently. There’s no changing it. Most people will never understand it. Better to embrace it for its inherent beauty.

Strength and honor; love and light.
