    When you see someone you haven't seen for ages and think 'god they've aged a lot.'

    Sad films and music.

    That I didn't take the time to get to know my grandparents in my teens.

    Dead animals on the road. I once counted over 20 animals on the road on a trip back from Carlow to Dublin.

    Kids being dragged up by scummer parents- giving them absolutely no chance at a decent life.

    I hate having to write off someone really young, but when you see the 'support' they have at home you can't help but.

    Simon Harris makes you cry? Seems a powerful physical response he can affect in you.

    Would bring a tear to a glass eye, so it would.

    Seeing kids getting written off because their parents are scummers.

    Oh and judging people because of the clothes they wear.

    I used to volunteer at a youth club in the inner city. The kids had no one at home who supported their education, no one to show them how they could reach their potential. Even the bright ones with inquisitive minds had such a slim chance- their schools were sub par and overstretched (and massively under resourced) and us being with them once a week wasn't going to make that big a diff (I still did the best I could with positive reinforcement, telling them when they said something interesting etc etc). It's just how it is for whole sections of society and it breaks your heart.

    Mistreated animals. My friend does some work in an animal shelter in Waterford and they took in a pony recently travellers were supposed to be in charge of, so she got hit by a car wandering around the halting site and her foal was killed, then they took her back and she was savaged by their dogs.
    Anyway the pony is happy now in the rescue centre, but the pictures of the little guy broke my heart.

    Bringing my daughter to the creche this morning and there was a broken egg on the ground that had fallen out of a nest overhead. Don't know why, but it made we feel sad for the poor bird.

    I will never forget the time going home from galway and we only had our train tickets and about 2 euro left and I was starving so went to get something from the vending machine and it got wedged and wouldn't come out. The hopelessness :(

    Someone overhead me complaining about it and gave me money so I went for the same thing again and the two things came out. I was overjoyed :)

    Tinder.

    The amount of women who don't even want to show their own face to a potential sexual partner makes me surprisingly sad. Also, those people who try to hide within their own profile photos by putting up multiple group ones.

    We took in a lurcher for foster until he recovered that the travelers owned and mistreated last year. Seems to be a common problem with this "ethnic grouping" that's getting worse. But yeah would break your heart..

    Whenever I read about the fire that destroyed the great Library of Alexandria.

    It was nearly two thousand years ago but my heart still breaks.

    When you and all your friends spend all weekend littering and a Native American comes along and sees the mess and a tear comes out of one eye.
