Never have I believed the saying "Never judge til you've walked a mile in his shoes" more than now.
Or better yet, don't give false compassion until you've tried living how someone lives.
You can advise, pity, attempt to help someone.
But never compare what you have to what they have.
Because that contest never works.
Just let them feel their pain.
Help them through.
But don't "comfort" them, pretend you "understand" by giving them a load of your problems too.
Because then, they're worse off.
And they like you less, too.
Stay Rad,
Riley
