We all know how stressful driving in fog is, but if we don't have fog every time we drive, it's hard to appreciate how hard it is for people that do.

That is no different than many things in life. We are all exposed through education, training, and experience to deal with situations that we have not actually had to deal with in real life, i.e. the social worker to deals with psych patients or child abuse, the doctor to treats the gunshot wounds in the inner city hospital, the soldier stationed in Iraq amongst the locals on patrol, the engineer who drills for oil in the North Sea stationed on a rig but does not actually run the drill. You don't need to live it to appreciate the position of other people or what they are going through on a day to day basis.
