Do Ye Not Understand the Contrast of Your Sympathy for the Creature in Man?

Our sympathy is a loftier and further-sighted sympathy, we see how man dwarfs himself. There are moments when we view your sympathy with an indescribable anguish when we resist it. We regard your seriousness as more dangerous than any kind of levity. You want, if possible, and there is not a more foolish, if possible,. to do away with suffering. And we, it really seems that we would rather have it increased and made worse than it has ever been.
