Some people have this amazing ability to think that certain events only happen to ”other” people, and will NEVER happen to THEM.
How they manage to ignore the fact that, to the rest of the world, they themselves are ”other people” too I will never understand.
Anyhow, occasionally an event comes along that strikes so close to home - this could have been me - that it pops that bubble, that feeling of immunity. It can be quite upsetting, unnerving and will often release a considerable amount of emotions. Can be sympathy, can be something else.
