Every horse thinks its pack the heaviest
Everyone Carries a burden of some sort: emotional, financial or relationship related. We feel the stress and strain and it hurts. When we're children we learn to keep many of our worries to ourselves. Nobody likes a whiner.
Our friends might be putting on a brave face and so we do not know that they also are suffering. We think it is only ourselves. Sometimes it is only when we reach breaking point and have a row that we learn of other people's difficulties. They might be having a more difficult time than we are.
A burden shared is a burden halved so learn to get on with others.
