Arguably, the worst pain is the pain we experience, because none of us can fully experience anyone else’s pain. We can only try to empathize with it. As usual, well-written and thoughtful.
My heart got quite tender reading this. I have a friend who has become totally broken by pain, and recently she lost her best friend because in a moment when the latter needed a word of compassion, she could only say 'your pain is smaller than mine'. I feel so sad when I think about this. Here's to hoping our own pain will never blind us from others' ❤️
❤️🩹 I've been thinking about this topic for so long and I finally put my words to the page. I am glad to hear it resonates! This piece is very important to me...
