Echoes of Silence
In "Pulling the Trigger" Robert Rabbin presents a challenging dillema and explains that we must learn to face adversity and despair with strength and insight and resolve to not be crushed.

We can learn about this when we see that another's pain is not different from ours, and that to speak or act to reduce another's pain is to free us from our own pain.
