The heart of another~

"The heart of another is a dark forest, always, no matter how close it has been to one’s own." 
American author Willa Cather (born December 7, 1873) only ever owned one house, a secluded summer cottage on Grand Manan Island in Canada. The small home had neither indoor plumbing nor electricity, but Cather liked the fact no one could telephone her there.

This is absolutely the truest thought I've read~ Although we may rush in saying, "Oh I know, Oh I've been there, that exact thing happened to me, Oh I can just feel your pain~   Never can we experience the same feelings, have the same reaction, or truly know how another feels...no matter how close.  Our dark forest belongs only to each of us~
