I was thinking today about that statement.
I think they are wrong.
Sure, I HATE it when I am trying to express how upset I am about certain situations and then somebody else butts in with how they feel the EXACT same way. It's annoying. Everybody wants to be an individual. Too bad for them (me).
The fact is that if nobody could identify with the way another person felt movies would have zero market, relationship would be impossible (considering the root word), and people would be completely alone in their circumstance. I don't really want to live like that.
To say that one person has no clue what another person has experienced is not exactly a fair call. When we first meet another person, we spend quite some time searching (even subconsciously) for ways to relate to them.
I took a course in university called 'Learning to Suffer Well'. It was a course that studied why God allows suffering in the world. One of the main points was that everybody experiences incomparable pain. If my dog were to die, and your dog were to die, I might experience overwhelming sorrow...while you have a short cry and move on. Even in that situation...I am sure you would be able to identify with the pain that I was feeling.
haha. WHY AM I BLOGGING ABOUT THIS?!?!?! I am going to stop right now. HAHA. Think about it...what do these thoughts have to do with anything?!?!
Oh yeah...I was just thinking, if anybody ever said the title statement during an argument...how would I respond? I would probably tell them most of what I wrote here...and by then we would probably forget what we were fighting about. GOOD CALL!
