I was feeling some self-pity (I try not to do so very often). I thought of the Tom Petty lyric, "You don't know what it's like to be me."
Then I realized, none of us know what it's like to be the other person. We all have our unique strengths and weaknesses, hopes and fears. So let's be kind to one another. No one knows what struggles someone else is experiencing. Smiles can cover any number of woes.
Wishing you patience in your struggle. May we all have patience for people we don't know who might act negatively during their time of struggle.
