I was raised middle class. At 18, I was homeless living in a shelter. Not only homeless, but with no one and only a duffle bag of clothes. However, I now am married and though we don't have jobs, we live in an apartment just a few miles from the beach.

Do you think that I can't relate to you? Can you relate to me? Have you ever been homeless living in shelters or on the streets? Only food you get is from the generosity of others?

See for me, I don't need my T to have been homeless to understand me. I don't need her to have straved to understand. She understands because she empathetic. Because she's been trained to understand the pains in life.

You keep judging people based upon their social status. If you think they can't understand you, why do you think you understand them? What gives you that power?
