"You don’t seem to be suffering.
I don’t?

You seem happy.
Well, sure. But not always. Sometimes it’s hard. Yeah. Sometimes it’s so hard. I mean, you can’t always suffer. It’s hard to suffer all the time. But I suffer enough. I suffer sometimes.

Why do you want to share your suffering?
By sharing it I will dilute it.

...

And that will heal you?
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!"

-Dave Eggers, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius.
