It's hard to watch others suffer and there is absolutely nothing you can do to help them. You're not a doctor. You're not a scientist. You can't find a cure for cancer. You can't solve the puzzle hundreds of doctors have been working on for years. You just can't do it.
You see people in pain and want to help but you can't. You may even be willing to do anything to make it so they will no longer suffer, but you don't know what to do. You can't find that one magical flower that will "heal the sick and injured." After all that only happens in fairy tales.
All you want is for that person to not suffer. Even if it's just for one day.
If you don't know what it feels like, consider yourself lucky. I wish I didn't.
If I had just one wish, it would be that you would never have pain again. Because after all it demands to be felt.
