“Shared joy is increased;Shared pain is lessened.”
“Shared sorrow is lessened, shared joy is increased”
“Shared pain is lessened; shared joy, increased—thus do we refute entropy." Stated another way: "Just as there are Laws of Conservation of Matter and Energy, so there are in fact Laws of Conservation of Pain and Joy. Neither can ever be created or destroyed. But one can be converted into the other.”
“The sharing of joy, whether physical, emotional, psychic, or intellectual, forms a bridge between the sharers which can be the basis for understanding much of what is not shared between them, and lessens the threat of their difference.”
“Grief shared was grief lessened.”
“Shared pain is lessened.Shared joy is increased.Thus we refute entropy.”
