Imagine yourself in their shoes. But... No. Stop. Dont tell me all the reasons why youd never be that person. Why youre different. All the mistakes they made or the reasons why its their fault that theyre in that situation in the first place. Imagine yourself in their shoes. You will never be able to remember or understand the impact of the millions of small things that made you who you are, and put you where you are today. The place you were born. The people you were born to. Your genetic makeup. Every cell in your body, your DNA, affecting everything from the density of your bones to the color of your skin. We all, to some extent, suffer from tunnel vision. Our own experience is the only one we know. Other peoples experience can be so, so different. Well they should just... They should be able to... What I did was... Stop. Dont. This is where they are. It doesnt matter how they got there. How are you going to treat them now? Like strangers? Like a different species? Or will you let yourself understand that IT COULD HAVE BEEN YOU? I mean really, really think about it. Let it sink in. That could be you. For all intents and purposes, THAT IS YOU. Look at them and see yourself looking back. Do it. Just once. I promise it will change things.
