My cousin says her husband recently stumped her with this joke:
"how many Vietnam vets does it take to put in a light bulb?" when she finally gave up he laughed.
" How could you know. You weren't there."
I laughed.
And then the message really hit me.
How can we judge any situation we have not lived
and more to the point
give advice on how somebody who is living it
should handle things?
A bit like the old adage
you don't understand until
you walk in my shoes.
What ever -
I am going to try to remember the joke and my epiphany.
