Rabbi Steven Wise once visited China. There, he was carried around by rickshaw. He was amazed to hear constant coughing from the rickshaw carriers. They would wheeze and cough non-stop. He asked a friend, "What is this all about?" "Don't worry," came the response. "After two weeks you won't notice their cough." And he was right. After two weeks he did not notice their coughing. Wise later said that was the saddest moment in his life. They were coughing and he did not hear them. Lord, Master of all, never allow my heart to become inured to the pain of my fellow.
