Empathy
There is a good reason for suffering and challenge.
There is a positive to every negative experience in life.
For every tear I shed, a whole new world is opened up to me.
Every time I overcome something, I can help you overcome it as well.
If I can share your story, if I can finish your sentence...I can help.
Perhaps this is the reason we suffer.
For although we may hurt, the pain is nothing compared to the reward of empathy.
But what if I've never been there?
What if I've never seen the things you've seen.
Never fought your battles.
I've never even heard of the places you've been.
That place you're stuck in right now.
I can't relate.
:(
Wish I could.
All I can offer is friendship.
The promise that I will do whatever I can to be there.
Whether I can relate or not.
If only I can fast forward to old and grey and wise.
What is wisdom - if not the ability to relate.
The gift of vision - to see the world through your eyes.
