Atau sekadar dengungan? Sungguh aku tak mengerti. NAmun, perlukah aku mengerti? Kurasa tidak. Yang kuperlukan hanyalah menghormati keputusannya, dan karena Tuhan telah menciptakan manusia dengan hati dan pikiran yang boleh punya jalan masing-masing, penghormatan seharusnya tidak memerlukan pengertian.

To be grounded in an attitude of compassion is to be capable of receiving and welcoming the suffering, which the other is giving us. This does not mean that we suffer for them, but that we offer them possibility of going beyond the separate self in which suffering is harbored. (59) ↗
