It hurts when you are doing your best, and your best is being rubbished, total heartbreak. Until you get into that same position of the victim, you have no right to criticise or judge.

Well, I believe we should rather hope for people to find wisdom and understand things rather than pray they get in our shoes to know how it feels. Let’s spread love ❤️.
