I hope so too Sir And I am sure I am not alone in wishing that Correct empathy cannot deal or heal But sharing can

Thanks Christopher, you can be sure I understand and feel the prevalence of pain throughout this world, but like my Monoku says, empathy cannot always deal or heal, but it can help by sharing in the pain, hopefully I’ll be back up and writing sometime in the near future, cheers David

Clear and concise, David, with an amazing lexicon and an open approach. As always, your Monoku was excellent, and I enjoyed reading it. Best wishes for the contest.
