🎵 Everlast WHAT IT'S LIKE Reaction

[@beastmode8985]

I think I'm a very empathic person. Everytime I hear this song, I get a bit choked up for some reason. I think the song has a fantastic message. You don't have to agree with other people's decisions, but unless you've walked through life in their shoes, you have no place to judge them.

I see what you mean, don't judge drunks or drug addicts, it's their life to fuck up, right? Then one day they cross the center line and kill an innocent family in a head on collision....Maybe if if was your family you would be more likely to judge....

[@gamerGUY3013]

@@pulsarlights2825 Jesus Christ dude, the point is not to judge because you don't know what happened to them to get them to that point in their life. Maybe that drug addict lost a friend or family member to a drunk driver and they just lost all will to live. Or they had a shitty childhood and they can't get rid of the memories so they turn to alcohol/drugs. Obviously if they commit a horrendous crime they're going to be judged, literally too.

[@editboy23]

I had a very powerful personal experience with this song. I was going through an extremely difficult time in my life. I was sitting in my car at probably the lowest I'd been and this song came on. I FELT this song and I understood what it was like to feel deep pain for the first time in my life. In some strange way, this song helped me get going in the right direction because it caused me to acknowledge the pain. This is one of the reasons I love music so much.

I've love the rhythm and tempo and message of this song since it first came out in the 90's. And I've listened to blues artist that dated back to the 20's and 30's, but I don't remember them singing about being homeless.....and staying there. Granted times have changed....but there are plenty of jobs out there available. Especially construction jobs. Inflation kicks everyone's tail....but construction is still a Great paying job.

In the Trump era, the call for empathy is more important then ever. Trump's entire Presidency was a realm of cruelty.

[@thegorn68]

@@the-DMZ-guy EXACTLY! This song has many good qualities and has a very cool groove. However, just because you can make a good rhyme supporting abortion, doesn't legitimize it. I don't need to "know what it's like" to rip apart an innocent 3 month year old baby. As if adoption didn't exist in 1998? There are plenty of women in the Pro-Life movement that once "walked a mile in her shoes" and they would NEVER call her a "sinner, whore, etc." outside of a clinic.

Now I'm married have a family and living life regardless of the struggles still dealing with. And that opportunity that came and helped me... well I've been married to her now for 20yrs and was blessed with 2 kids, both of which are grown and 1 just got married a month ago to her high-school sweet heart.... he's in the Army.

We are all different and all have different opinions, thoughts, lives and reasons for why we find ourselves in certain situations. And sometimes those situations are difficult and beyond our control. We never know what someone else may be going through. Just because someone is smiling and is pleasant doesn’t mean they aren’t hurting deep down over something we know nothing about.
