Feelings...are subjective...they are not proof... ...because we FEEL something is a certain way does not make it a fact.
We all live in our own bubbles of reality, sometimes our bubbles touch others but they keep us isolated...separate...safe...alone...depressed...alive...pick a description that fits.
I can not understand what someone in some other country is feeling, surviving, enjoying, thinking...we can empathize...but we are not them...you are not me.
I think that is what enables stigma, judgements on others...censure...abuse.
No one can claim to know my life, I can not claim to know theirs.
