He asked, “Why do you feel helpless?”

It seemed to me an insane question. Wasn’t the answer obvious? Of course I felt helpless! I cared and there was nothing I could do to help!

It took me some time to realize the question was not only not insane, but insightful. It was more complex than “Why do you feel helpless?” It was: “Why do you feel you need to help?” It was: ”Why is it your job to fix this?” It was: “Why are you carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders?”

The worst part was: I had no answers. I assumed anyone would feel this way in the same situation, but I was wrong.

So I asked myself: why do I feel this way, and went searching for the answer.
