Sharing someone else's wound and healing that wound through yours does not come to a reality just by a day's choice... its through a mind set formed, value upheld and life shared for years placing the other more important than you it happen... it becomes part of one's life ..thought ..perspectives and a"normal choice" ... though others might call it "madness". But that madness becomes part of your life so much that it becomes the purpose of your being and gives meaning to your existence . I am a person working with the tribal communities of Maharashtra for last 13 to 14 years where giving, placing them first and sharing their wounds becomes natural to.me today and I believe it is so because I have been groomed and grown in such eco systems from childhood seeing my parents and dear ones living the same value ... in this living I have lost my health, taken decisions which would go beyond my comfort zones and security and the full knowledge that you don't receive nothing in return even the gratitude or a special love or consideration from them, I can still be at it because of the joy of giving with out expecting anything back... the meaning that it gives to my existence ... so I conclude ...sharing the wounds... is not a one day job... its a part of living some people groom in to and consciously make a choice for ...because for some it gives that such meaning and satisfaction which may be the world may not understand.
