There’s both a sense of guilt knowing that others who needed more didn’t get any and the exasperation of thinking that’s not nearly enough. Maybe that’s how empathy is cultivated.
I may have mentioned this before, but the word for that smell of the earth after rainfall after dry weather is called petrichor. One of my favourite words.
