It’s not just seeing suffering that's painful. It’s hurting for others while feeling unable to help. There’s a term for that helplessness: empathic distress. Over time, it leads to burnout and withdrawal. If you're overwhelmed and exhausted by a heavy heart, you are not alone.

Don’t mistake silence for apathy. When people are quiet, they’re often busy thinking and learning. Extraverts like to process ideas by talking them through. Introverts prefer to reflect before they speak. I'm not disengaged. I'm listening to your views and formulating mine.

Books teach our students tolerance. When we limit the books on our students’ shelves, we limit their knowledge and perspective.
