Into the book
1.
All good things, as well as the causes and solutions to problems, are within each of us.
We all have within us the capacity to enjoy and share with others the same acceptance, support, love, happiness, and joy that Spring expects.
Now, instead of expecting to receive them from outside sources, we must give them to ourselves.
You must understand your own desires well and fulfill them appropriately through your own efforts.
Then, try to put yourself in the other person's shoes.
My sister is just like Bom, a lonely and empty person, in need of love, and often hurt.
---p.28, Chapter 1, "Knowing Yourself"

2.
In life, there is a reality principle and a pleasure principle.
Babies who are not yet actively living in reality can pursue only things that are enjoyable, satisfying, and pleasurable.
But even as elementary school students, we have to do things we don't want to do, things that are uncomfortable, and things that are painful.
It's called the reality principle.
It is said that our daily lives are made up of 85 percent of the tasks that fall under the reality principle and 15 percent of the tasks that fall under the pleasure principle.
The ability to delay immediate gratification, to distinguish between what's important and what's not, and to care for the realities of life, even when it's painful, are all valuable life skills that must be learned.
---p.116, Chapter 2, “Family Relationships”

3.
Even if you are notified of a breakup like thunder, or if your lover leaves you like lightning, there is nothing to worry about.
Through this love, I have enjoyed many things and experienced great growth.
From love to breakup, thank your lover for allowing you to experience the full course of happiness and unhappiness, and wish him or her good luck.
Then, you can welcome new love with an upgraded mind.
The next love will be more fulfilling and stable.
---p.225, Chapter 3 "Sex and Love"

4.
The first virtue needed to lead a life after middle age is to ‘reestablish one’s own identity.’
Self-identity is first formed during adolescence.
During this time, you begin to feel love and desire for the opposite sex outside of yourself, and you begin to form a concept of who you are, what you dream of in life, and what kind of person you want to become.
During adolescence and young adulthood, we live according to the blueprint we created then.
But when we reach middle age, we can no longer apply that picture to our lives.
Because the appearance and responsibilities of our lives have changed, and the world we live in has also changed.
---p.353, Chapter 4 "Building Relationships"

Publisher's Review
Empathy, the best way to reach others
Novelist Kim Hyung-kyung's second psychological essay, "A Thousand Sympathies"


To those who struggle through life's lonely tug-of-war...

Novelist Kim Hyung-kyung's second psychological healing essay, "A Thousand Sympathies," is a record of her intimate feelings shared with readers through a media outlet.
The author, who showed extraordinary understanding and love for humanity through his first psychological travel essay, “Human Landscape,” has stepped forward as a “guide” for “wounded souls” in “A Thousand Sympathies.”
The author has read with deep insight the earnest desires of those of us who always dream of change, wanting to live happier lives and better relationships with others, but always wandering on the edge of that path.
While fully empathizing with the feelings of loneliness, he does not spare bitter advice so that 'each person can look into their inner self and develop the power of healing themselves.'


Author's Note
I don't know when, but I've been mumbling the phrase, "There are heartbreaking truths in everyone's life."
I want to keep that thought for a long time and broadly, that he must have had his own desperate circumstances.


A true “second journey to find myself!”

In the second psychological healing essay, “A Thousand Sympathies,” following the psychological travel essay “People’s Landscape,”
As you can feel from the title of the book, you can experience the warm comfort that comes from the author's heart.

Perhaps the writer Kim Hyung-kyung also experienced the wandering that we all experience, and spent time facing her own heart.
This may be because it contains the love of the writer learned through the hardships of psychoanalysis.

Just as there are as many different types of life as there are people in the world,
The hearts of the readers of this book are coming together to create “a thousand empathy” again.


People who choose too easily and quickly!
Be brave or foolish~!


Why are everyone's hearts different?
The curiosity of readers who want to know about their own and other people's minds
Even now, six years after the first publication of “A Thousand Sympathies,” it remains the same.

Even though I'm sick to death, I'm always worried about my family's wounds.

I want to change, but I don't know where or how to start.

As I get older, I become more and more confused about work and love.

I am struggling with workaholism, alcoholism, and gaming addiction.

Every time I go through a breakup, I fall into an abyss of despair from which I cannot escape.

It is the image of us all, and it is the story of us all.


Discovering the blessings within us.


The author says that the way to regain the true life that has been lost is to remember the blessings of heaven.

Discover the virtues that belong to the realm of emotion, intuition, nature, and mysticism that have been suppressed and ignored.
He adds that if you go out, it is something that touches your life and helps you realize your true self.

Through the empathy of “A Thousand Sympathies,” readers and writers also empathize with each other.
It will be a matter of discovering the 'blessing' of good love within us.


If you were to ask me this right now...


Is there any love that doesn't hurt?
When you love, feel deeply and truly all the emotions that arise from within you.
Relationship with others
As I examine my inner self, I realize that I am such a suspicious person and that my anxiety is
It's so deep, I'm such a jealous person... ... I realize it and experience it.

It will be so painful that it will feel like your whole body will break and your heart will break.
Even so, don't pour out those feelings on the other person, avoid them, ignore them, or seek solace from others. Just experience them.
It's okay to explain your situation to the other person and ask for help.

When will I be able to be happy?
Psychoanalysis always emphasizes the 'here and now'.
It allows you to empty your mind of the distorted past that fills your heart, shed your rosy illusions about the future, and face and accept the reality of life.
It teaches us that rather than wandering around looking for the ideal lover, we should nurture our current relationships to make them stable and rich.
Rather than dreaming of striking it rich through gambling or the lottery, we choose a life of honest work and savings.
Rather than abusing yourself by skimping on food and sleep today for future happiness, find satisfaction and joy in life here and now by balancing work and rest.
