About this Quote

This quote by Robert Capa talks to the difficulty of being a witness to suffering without having the ability to do anything to help. It is a tip that sometimes we are powerless to intervene in the suffering of others, and all we can do is attest to it. This can be a hard and heartbreaking experience, as we are required to stand aside and view as individuals suffer without having the ability to do anything to assist. It is a tip that we must bear in mind the suffering of others, even if we can not do anything to ease it. It is likewise a tip that we should be grateful for the times when we are able to assist, and to utilize those opportunities to make a difference in the lives of those around us.
