Country Quote by David Hogg

“You can't have empathy for somebody that's gone through something…” quote by David Hogg — Download Open image

“You can't have empathy for somebody that's gone through something you haven't - because, definitionally, you can't. But you can feel for them and have sympathy for them. And that's what this country needs to practice more. It's about realizing that you do come from a different place.”
