When you recognize that bad things happen to good people, and also, that bad things actually happen to you -- it creates a connection around suffering that is a two-way relationship between equals. Compassion is not a relationship built on a notion of one always-messed-up person matched with one always-saving-the-world person. It is built upon each of us being messed up in many points of our lives.
-- Kelsey Crowe and Emily McDowell, There Is No Good Card for This, p. 65
