It reminds me of a documentary I saw a few weeks ago of a journalist who suffers from PTSD after covering numerous tragedies like the earthquakes in Japan and the Philippines. Like you say in your addendum, if we could know what's going on inside someone, we'd (hopefully) operate with a whole lot more compassion).

And then there are friends from tours in Vietnam. We do not know all the stories of people, you are right, Tabatha.
