"I don't want to make it easier for you, I hope your heart breaks; but I do understand". This line is from Brideshead Revisited. I remember feeling the pain within this line when I first watched the movie. After reading the book, it was as if the whole story, all his experiences ended with this line. What made me feel for this line is that it is the curse of somebody who steps into the other person's shoes and saw things from his/her perspective. Thus leading to the tragedy of him understanding and empathising with the decision made but as his personal values differ largely from those of the person he is empathising with, he could not accept the decision being made.
