I did not lose myself all at once.
I rubbed out my face over the years
washing away my pain,
the same way carvings on stone
are worn down by water.

In dealing with those who are undergoing great suffering, if you feel "burnout" setting in, if you feel demoralized and exhausted, it is best, for the sake of everyone, to withdraw and restore yourself. The point is to have a long-term perspective. Dalai Lama
