When emotions flow, be an empty receptacle.

Be an empty receptacle.
 When emotions flow, be an empty receptacle.
A heart filled with criticism hasn't room for pity.

Empathy is one of our greatest strengths. A friend who is simply present and listens to the worries of a troubled soul is like cool compress to a fevered mind. Only once she has drained herself of all the poison she harbors, can she then accept the cool waters of comfort, wisdom and assurance.

If you have wisdom or your own to impart on The Student, tweet @suburbatory or make a comment right here in this blog.
