Its not about me. It’s not “my” cause - it is myriad “causes” of people around the world. A sympathetic ear would not lighten my burden at all. To see others tenaciously and independently pursuing the “cause” of human rights - the right to food and a home, the right to freedom to live as one chooses - seeing that gives me some comfort. Physical, animal affection would likely help me breath better and relax my deep muscles, but this I can do without. People die in agony for just cause - for causes you may not care about, but from which you likely benefit. I find satisfaction sharing their suffering, and suffering for these “causes” is the best way you could lend me comfort.
