If you have
never actually experienced a specific serious problem for yourself,
no amount of words explaining that
problem will make you
understand
You can listen
to a person talk about it
You can feel
bad for them and tell
them you are sorry for
them
But you really
cannot understand what it
feels like, in your heart
You do not
really understand what
the person deals
with. You do not know
whether they cry or feel trapped or terribly isolated
and alone and like they
cannot ask for help
Unless you
actually struggle
with the exact same thing
You cannot
feel someone elses pain unless you are
also going through
it
That
is the only way you
really understand
