Why do you imagine any of this is about garnering sympathy? I don't want sympathy, but a little empathy might be nice.
Actually, this is me, doing "empathy".

What made you decide that it was to do with one thing rather than the other thing, or set of things? Why, indeed, do you continue to fly?

Perhaps it is a sub-conscious decision?
