I actually agree with both you and Hugo on this. (I twitted facetiously just to see how it works ) It is easy to just not click on responses you know a priori are going to be painful.
But I also have the feeling you get when someone sits down next to you on the bus and begins to wet themself. It is not so much the discomfort they are causing you but you can only ignore their plight if you completely shut off all human empathy. That is a skill I don't like to find myself refining.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
