There is an interesting that I perceive in all human beings to, in some situations, to experience or feel the same way.
People like to go to movies and laugh at the same joke or feel scared at the same scene or sad at the same point. Regardless of what you think of laugh tracks or music that underscores the emotional significance of a particular situation, such things are prevalent on TV shows.
In my particular case the previous week (hey, better late then never), I was reading a poem that talked about a particular feeling of dread when faced with a certain realization. For some reason, feeling that the author understood my reaction was profoundly comforting: the knowledge that I was not alone in experiencing this made me feel reassured.
It is an odd thing that I should take comfort in the company of others this way. The author was no there, I could not interact with them to be reassured, but this feeling of shared experience was there none the less.

empathy is what makes us human :)
I hear ya. The feeling of not being alone on this air bubble is a nice thing.
And that's how I feel when I go around and read about everyone's blessings. May you continue to feel this way!
