"We Begin at the End" by Chris Whitaker [View all]

I'm just starting "We Begin at the End" by Chris Whitaker and this line struck me:

"You were cursed with pathological honesty, Walk. You carry weight you don't even see."

It reminds me of something my minister said. My friend died Dec. 29. We had a disagreement and had not been seeing each other. Pastor told me that I could not carry my weight and his too. That's probably why this line jumped out at me.
