Funeral food tastes good,
until it’s cooked in your own home.
Old age doesn’t seem scary,
until your parents reach that stage.
Sorry means nothing,
until you hearing it from a doctor.
The sound of an ambulance seems noisy,
until it stops at your house.
Everything seems cringe,
until it’s your turn to experience it.
Life seems good and different,
until it teaches you lessons you never expected.
Life seems simple when you’re watching from a distance, until it puts you through the very things you once overlooked.
So, be kind, be grateful, and never take anything for granted. You never know when life might put you in someone else’s shoes.

Empathy is the ability to respect what we may never fully understand. Not every lesson needs to come from personal suffering, and not every act of kindness needs a reason. Sometimes, maturity is simply knowing when to be more understanding than judgmental.
