"I fancied I had some constancy of mind because I could bear my own sufferings, but found through the sufferings of others I could be weakened like a child"

This quote by Sarah Fielding speaks with the idea that we often overestimate our very own stamina and durability. We may assume that we can handle our very own suffering, yet when we witness the suffering of others, we can be overwhelmed and also weakened. This quote suggests that we are not as strong as we think we are, which our capability to handle suffering is limited. It additionally indicates that we ought to be a lot more compassionate as well as understanding of the suffering of others, as we may not be able to handle it ourselves. This quote is a reminder that we need to be mindful of our very own limitations and also be extra compassionate in the direction of the suffering of others. It is a reminder that we need to not be also tough on ourselves, and that we should be even more understanding of the battles of others.
