Empathy Waiting

March 06, 2011

When taking the subway on the weekend, I’m always relieved when I see a crowded platform. That makes sense: a lot of people waiting means it’s been a while since the last subway came, so another one is bound to come soon. But it’s weird to take solace from strangers being put out. Just saying, when else are you happy to see others suffer?
