Quote by Oscar Wilde

I can sympathize with everything, except suffering.

Summary

This quote suggests that the person empathizes with various aspects of life but struggles to identify or understand the experience of suffering. While they may possess the ability to relate to and comprehend different situations, pain and affliction seem beyond their full scope of understanding or connection. This could stem from the speaker's inability to fully grasp the intensity or complexity of suffering or from a personal resistance to engage with the emotional weight associated with it.
