Dumbfounded I sit thinking how little I know about the world. The experiences people have/had. How much deep the suffering can really be. I thought I have the deepest scar in my life suffering alone but here this lady has gone through things which stands way beyond my wildest imagination.

You get stuck in traffic and question oh why didn't I leave early or why didn't I take the other route. You get in conflict with someone, you question why did I say that, You miss a deadline in office work, you question, oh why did I go for that birthday party? why did I watch that Netflix show/ What...
