The phrase “I can only imagine” traditionally serves as a humble acknowledgment of our experiential limits when witnessing someone else’s grief or joy. However, shifting the phrasing to “I can’t only imagine” signals a deeper transition from passive cognitive empathy to visceral feeling and urgent action. Rather than keeping suffering at a safe, theoretical distance, embracing this connection drives us to become active participants in mutual aid and healing. Facebook·Bilkisu Abdullahi Hassan
