Winning essays from the CAF contest "My Failure Story"
000 | KAIST Department of Bio and Brain Engineering
Our society often perceives grief as a debilitating and pitiful condition, but my grief has taught me that the most vulnerable people are in the greatest need of empathy and understanding. I have grown to accept that I am different and that I will never be able to alter my family history to resemble that of my friends. Instead of seeking acceptance from society, instead of demanding to be seen as more than just a broken person, I have come to terms with how my grief has made me more sensitive to different shades human suffering. Instead of comparing my past with my friends’ past as an excuse to explain why my inner life has felt so different, I have learnt to acknowledge that suffering cannot be measured by any metric standards. My suffering has taught me to be open to other people’s suffering, to not shun their weaknesses or look the other way when their pain gets too unbearable.
