The Emotional Bank Balance.

I was reading earlier about Britain’s worst motorway smash for twenty years. Thirty four vehicles, many of them in flames, seven people dead, fifty one injured. I don’t want to describe the feelings that swamp me when I read things like that. I don’t want to think about what the dead and injured went through, or what emotional scars the survivors will have to live with.

This is something Buddhists talk about: how to avoid going into overdraft when paying the price of compassion.
