empathy is bad for me

i read a book for psych (the autobiography of one of the Little Rock Nine) and sobbed the whole way through. i kept telling myself, this is academic reading, get some distance, and i just couldn't. i cried when someone threatened to kill her rather than have her in school with their kids, i cried when she remained positive in the face of these odds that would have made anyone run. i just cried. what the hell is wrong with me?
