Life’s storms do not strike us all with the same force. We watch others face their challenges and often believe we understand the weight they carry. Yet the truth is, not everyone feels the same rain.
For some, it’s only a light shower—easily managed beneath the shelter of privilege and support. For others, it’s a relentless storm, drenching them to the bone, with nothing to shield them but their own strength.
This undeniable inequality reminds us that the world is not fair. Empathy, then, cannot depend on shared experience—it must be built on radical imagination. It calls us to be gentler, slower to judge, and quicker to help.
When we choose to extend a hand instead of an opinion, we honor another’s humanity. We admit we may never truly know the weight of their storm, but with compassion, we can help them find a moment of shelter. 🌿
