This is a good object lesson--because our mental and social perspectives sometimes need to be 'turned sideways' or even upside down to remind ourselves that even when people are in situations similar to ones we've been (or are) in, it doesn't mean they are experiencing it just the same either physically or emotionally. We tend to see common life problems in terms of how they FELT to us, and as most often portrayed and addressed by both news and social media without realizing that however similar, however common the personal, individual context matters.
