I think this particular postcard really connected with the theme of empathy. It's so common for us to assume that those sad stories of people in tragic circumstances could never happen to anyone we know, and definitely not to us. It's uncomfortable to think about the hardships our peers may have experienced, especially when they're someone we have a distaste for. However, this postcard perfectly demonstrates Frank Warren's words: "Every single person has at least one secret that would break your heart." I try to remember this when I deal with difficult students, but I think I can do a better job of applying it to every single person I meet and interact with.
