there's such a difference between carrying the scars of past suffering and experiencing it first-hand.

Absolutely. But it is important to acknowledge those scars, because they are there.

Where I think a lot of these conversations derail is that one person says "I am in pain because of this particular thing" and someone else says "But I'm in pain too, why is yours more important?" and it gets into a "Whose life sucks more?" contest and none of the problems actually get fixed.

(edited for spelling :))
