I attended two hearings today and I have to admit, it is so emotionally draining!
The best attorneys maintain a detached aloofness from their client's cases so they can be objective and see things from all sides, yet also hold some affinity for the case so they can empathize and feel the pain, the justice, and the validity of the case. Easy said, hard to do.
My problem is that these cases really tear me up. The struggles and difficulties with which others must deal are overwhelming. It's not easy to be cold and calculating in such situations.
Most of us are so blessed to have so much: security, freedom, liberty, sufficient material comforts, good health, and appreciative companionship. Cherish what you have. Do what you can to bring joy to others.
