an attempt at compassion

"He suffers, more generally, because of his character, unadjusted for modern life. He cannot be happy in the face of the misery of the world. He takes on this collective misery, and wants to live out of step with the world. His problem is strongly related to compassion. His entire suffering stems from there: he cannot incarnate completely this feeling of compassion. He wants to suffer along with the rest of mankind, but he doesn't totally succeed at it."
