Exactly. That Aston Martin could be part of why he is broke. You never know what someone is going through. In fact, odds are the more you percieve a person has having "it all together", the further off the mark you likely are. This is true for the simple reason that everyone struggles with something. "Empathy" is a good word here. I think we tend to decide how much of our empathy we believe a person deserves based on our own perception of "how well they're doing", particularly relative to ourselves. The truth is, we should always start with empathy and grace, though that's often easier said than done. So, thanks for inserting that word. Needed the reminder myself.
