I cannot imagine how it feels to be put under so much duress. Whether it is a widow who has lost every family member in the rubble in Pakistan, losing my house and job in New Orleans, watching my child get swept under the water in Tiawan or see my son shot in Iraq.....whatever. I cannot put myself in their shoes - i have no idea what they are feeling or going through. I have never had to live under such dire circumbstances and pray i never have to. i read a quote on another blog....

"Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.

That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes."

No one would actually put themselves in another's place anymore. People are all selfish and could care less how other people feel. I think the world is coming to an end.
