Empathy

I hate to see people in pain, emotional or physical. Because I am so empathetic I can always relate to whenever people are feeling "down". My days are a constant rollercoaster due to this; I act like a buffer to all those who are around me.
And yet, I would not want it any other way. I almost pity those who are able to fly above it all without giving a care to how those around them are feeling. On the other hand, their decision making process must be a lot easier; they only have to consider themselves when making a choice.
Either way I will continue as I am. Taking on and solving others' problems has become my problem and my goal. What is yours though?
