You cannot ever really KNOW about something you haven't personally experienced. No matter how much you read/learn doesn't matter. True?

Read about giving birth to a child versus giving birth to your child

Having cancer and going through months of chemo and radiation and hair loss and memory loss versus knowing folks who have had it or reading about  it

Two prime examples. So when folks who haven't experienced it try tell you that you're wrong about something they know nothing about do you feel sorry for them or get angry at them? Some folks think they know everything about everything which means they really know nothing about anything and will never be able to learn. SIGH. 

How often have you been lectured by folks who don't have kids that how you are raising yours is all wrong?  Or losing everything and being forced to be on welfare and being told you are lazy and shiftless and just want a handout by fat cats who have never had to worry about paying bills or providing food/shelter for their kids?  Big talkers. Empty suits. Useless shiftless wealthy bums. What they need is a good long dose of poverty  and bad luck to shut them up, change their tune, help them to become human beings who are humane and caring. Chances of that are?  :(
