Quote by Catharine Esther Beecher

The delicate and infirm go for sympathy, not to the well and buoyant, but to those who have suffered like themselves.

The delicate and infirm go for sympathy, not to the well and

Summary

This quote suggests that people who are delicate and frail seek sympathy from others who have also experienced suffering, rather than from those who are healthy and optimistic. It implies that individuals find solace in connecting with those who have faced similar challenges and can empathize with their struggles. This may be because those who have endured hardships are better able to offer genuine understanding and support, having experienced similar emotional or physical pain.
