Oh ma'am, there arises no question of 'bearing'. I can understand the hectic schedule you must have to be going through preparing for your daughter's engagement. I am so glad that you could find time to read, and your inputs are invariably steeped in great interest on any subject I write, and for that I thank you from the bottom of my heart

, also tip my heart to you.

...'when the sufferer is like to ourselves in nature...' the sympathy levels and its correlation with our types, is what makes a tragedy lasting. Thank you so much, Darson.

...'when the sufferer is like to ourselves in nature...'....ah, yes, then that makes it much more 'personal'. While most of us cannot relate to the black-hearted villian-types, we can relate to the common person...not too celestial, and not too evil....folk like us. It's painful to see everyday types going through undeserved trials. I agree.

The spreader of happy fragrance everywhere, thank you, thank you so much. You have been such an ardent follower of these essays which I initially surmised, would not interest many.

Pity is outside, fear is inside. How simple, but we don't think it that way ... amazing ... why not? ! ! ! Therefore, what great men say, is our own very (probably rejected) thoughts presented with an alienated beauty. I have been well ma'am except that I was involved in a 'million' businesses all at once. So, my readings and writings, too, have been sketchy.

My dear friend, I love doing them, I love it even the more when people like you read and appreciate, because then it attests to the fact that I was able to be clear in conveying; at places they are quite complex. Probably, all of us do like Greek literature, all the same.

Excellent Abanerjee - It all boils down to what Aristotle has said. How true. Thanks so much for stopping by with your lovely comment and also for sharing this.

I am with Aristotle! Pity is what we perceive toward another and fear is what we perceive in ourselves! Well written and easy to follow examples and explanation! How have you been? sam
