[Spoiler Alert for Cast Away] I remember when I watched that movie once

I know that Cast Away is an old movie, but still...

I was pretty young back then when I watched that movie for the first time. (I haven't watched it since then, but would maybe rewatch one day)

Not sure how young, but maybe 12 or a bit older.

And I was watching it with my cousin, who was a bit older than me.

There was this scene where Wilson floats away from Tom Hanks and Hanks is crying because of it.

And I remember saying something like "Dude, it's just a volleyball."

But my cousin said "That volleyball was his only friend."

Well... it sounds like my cousin had more empathy than I did.

I think my empathy has gotten better since then though.
