Pain is contagious

Pain is contagious

“People never harm others out of joy, they give pain to others because they too are hurt or in pain.” ~Sobonfu Somé

It’s not selfish to seek to heal our own pain or to create more joy in our lives because it doesn’t just make our lives better, it also stops the spread of pain when we reduce our own pain. Pain is contagious because hurting people hurt others.
