Your struggle may not look exactly the same as mine, but suffering from life experiences is what can connect us if we each learn how to train our eyes to see through the lens of compassion. Compassion means to “suffer together with,” and it is a lot like empathy, which is understood that, even if I didn’t go through exactly your life experiences, I have the ability to understand and be there for you.
