“The person sitting across from you on the bus is the hero of their own story. The cashier at the grocery store has hopes and heartaches you will never know. ... We often treat others as background characters in our personal narrative, forgetting that we are background characters in theirs. When we recognise that everyone carries invisible burdens and joys, we become softer in our judgments and more generous in our assumptions”
Quote by Ajmal, from the book "Borders of the Inner World"
