As I drove home from work in the super heavy rain right now, I saw drenched motorcyclists under the bridges and in the tunnels waiting for the rain to stop, and I thought to myself, "How must they be feeling, and to be held up by the external circumstance from getting to where they are heading or home, while they spent time then on their phones while waiting."

But then I thought again, that I should be thinking, "How lucky or privileged that these people in cars are still in more relative comfort and making a beeline for where they're going with less disruption." Because then I'd really be trying to put myself in another person's shoes, rather than just speaking or acting from a position of relative privilege or better luck.

To be able to be aware and understand fully where and what position we are in, only then are we able to show true empathy or compassion to the people around us, rather than to act from a position of superiority, pretence or hypocrisy.

Everyone draws different lots at different times, sometimes you're in a better position than another, sometimes you're in a worse position than another, but it takes real heart as it's never easy to put yourself in another person's shoes truly, but to show love and compassion as much as you have the capacity to in your daily life. That said, everyone can and should try to happy and contented in their own lot while always trying to be our better selves. ♥️ #sillylittlemusings #ourepiclittlelives #stilllearning #alwayslearning

Ps: Just using this example of circumstance to reflect some thoughts, but not exactly saying a motorcyclist or a motorist is more privileged than another in that way, because the one in a supposed inferior position can be a happier position or by choice in the first place, if it makes sense and I hope you get what I mean haha. 😉

The initial police investigation showed that a female motorcyclist, later identified as a 27-year-old El Salvadoran national, was knocked to the ground when her motorcycle was struck by the cement mixer as it changed lanes.
