> You should learn more about stress disorders Uh, why? Am I a counselor? > allow yourself to empathize with the plight of the moderators To what end? What possible constructive purpose is served by allowing myself to share (or wallow) in the negative emotions described by others? Does it stop "bad things" from happening? Does it lessen their pain? Does it lessen anyone's pain? Or does it increase the overall amount of suffering in the world? brb, going to voluntarily take a job that makes me feel bad, so I can cry about it on the internet...
