The best thing to do is find one person in your life and try to love them unconditionally. If you've accomplished that, you've accomplished a lot.

Eases the burdens of those he loves.
Saves the ones he loves from painful last images that might endure for a lifetime.

I think there's a natural system in your own head about how much violence the scene warrants. It's not an intellectual process, it's an instinctive process.
