Empathy is an admirable trait usually. The ability to sympathize on an emotional level with the struggles of others is indeed an amiable quality…until someone gets sick.
It would seem that those who are driven to similar action when they see someone get sick are not simply weak-stomached, but truly empathetic.
Yes, domino “vomiters” your inability to keep it together in the sight of the illness of others is merely the result of your incredible capacity for empathy.
Congratulations, take comfort in that fact while you’re continuing the domino effect of stomach illness.
All of you steel-stomached heroes out there who now have to deal with the fact that you’re cold, heartless, and generally unfeeling–I empathize with you.
Even though according to the rule of stomach maladies, I’m incapable of it. While the rest of you flee at the sight of partially digested meals, those of us with iron-clad will power have to stick around and clean it up.
So while we may not share in your suffering, we get a full serving of the clean up.
You’re welcome.
