Ahhh yes...the idea that our own issues cannot possibly be as bad as what others have gone through in life syndrome.....I used to think the same way Troy.

In time, I was able to understand that no matter what each individual has been through, our experiences are important to who we are and how we feel. Maybe we look at other's issues and have empathy for what they went through and think it had to be worse than what we went through.....but we have to understand that it is all relative....and what we go through is ours to deal with regardless of the degree of the abuse or the pain.

When it comes to suffering, we all own a piece of the pie. No better, no worse.....it is ours to deal with. Wishing you well Troy!
