What's easy for you might be impossible for someone else.
One of the biggest mistakes people make is assuming
that what comes naturally to them
should come naturally to everyone.
But your greatest strengths rarely feel like strengths.
They feel normal.
Default.
Obvious.
That's why people say things like:
"Just get over it."
"It's not a big deal."
"This is so simple."
But it's only simple because you're strong there.
The person in front of you may be fighting a battle you've never had to fight.
The Mishna teaches:
אַל תָּדִין אֶת חֲבֵרְךָ עַד שֶׁתַּגִּיעַ לִמְקוֹמוֹ
Don't judge your friend until you reach his place.
Not until you understand him.
Not until he explains himself.
Until you stand where he's standing.
Because the thing that's effortless for you may be the exact thing breaking him.
Empathy begins when we stop measuring everyone by our own strengths.
