I Understand now what people were saying all that time ago now when they said that empathy is unsustainable you have to have self discipline and a moral backbone
#like I can still be moved to tears but it’s much more infrequent now#my knee-jerk emotional resonance that I had earlier on is extremely diminished#at the same time though I still recognize and on a deeper level continue to follow my internal sense of what’s right and wrong#but it’s a lot less bleeding heart and more methodical. Mechanical. Located in my head#and so far I’ve been very good about it it’s just that I have noticed a decrease in my ability to feel it rather than simply understand it#i’m doing it because I know it’s the right thing to do and what I would want to do and what I’ve continuously wanted to do#but seeing people’s faces has diminishing returns now. hmm
