~ Borrowed words which I agree with .. “They say you should walk a mile in someone’s shoes, but I’ve found its’s better to just walk a mile next to them. Because you shouldn’t have to go through something yourself in order to care about it happening to someone else. You shouldn’t have to know that exact pain to show concern or compassion for theirs. And because you should recognise that you are seeing but a tiny part of the overall picture-much of it may be outside your ability to truly empathise with. Here’s the thing, though-you can still be a good friend. You can still help. Simply by acknowledging that what they are going through is so hard. Simply by being there for them. And you can choose to trust their experience of the hard thing, instead of trying to imagine yourself in it. Sometimes we don’t need someone to put themselves in our place. We just need someone to hod our hand and walk alongside us.” – Would love to hear your thoughts on this?
