If so, context doesn't matter much, but you gained something positive, no matter how small.
Maybe you realized that everyone has hard times, and you don't feel it merits public discussion. However, it got you to read the post and not only that, but to comment on it as well. It's undeniable the post impacted you in some way. You will take something new away from that post, be it good, bad, or indifferent. Either way, in an ever so small way, you have been changed. What you do with that change is up to you, but in most cases I find it leads to positive change.
