My standard for crying over nothing is "you've GOT to be kidding me, you CAN'T cry over THAT!" Is there a class to teach compassion? I feel like Data at times like this.....
I never got Data, actually. He wanted emotions. That just seemed weird to me.
Now Spock, that was a man with whom I could identify!
(And I know it seems like I must be kidding, but I'm actually not. I'm that far gone! In the Kirk/Bones/Spock triumverate, I always thought Spock was clearly right and not until I took a psych class could I even begin to understand how anyone could think otherwise.)
