Cliffs of Insanity

I love The Princess Bride. It's a classic. And this scene had an amazing dynamic between the two characters in it.

compassion

Everyone in this world is going through something. Sometimes we need to be reminded of that; then our problems won't seem so bad. Stop focusing so much on ourselves and how much we were put out or hurt and have compassion for our fellow humans.
