"People who have suffered are often peculiarly receptive to others' experiences; they hear the nuances of pain that others miss. Such a person may not talk of his suffering at all, but somehow other sufferers detect him. They are drawn to him because they sense he cannot be shocked by the violence of their pain, and because, as one who has survived suffering, he embodies real hope. People who have suffered understand each other in a way that others who have not suffered cannot."
