Do you think it feels good to live in a country where people get treated so much worse or better based on such superficial qualities?

Like there was a time when I had a student who had immigrated here and she felt very miserable about some things and comfortable talking about those things with me. And we talked about much more than just the assignment. 

She had a lot of health problems and she always had miscarriages and she was never able to have children of her own. But she married a man who already had children so she was the stepmother. 

But she hadn't received adequate healthcare and she felt really bad about her body and she was a bigger person. 

And I told her about how there's different kinds of yoga channels online now for bigger sized people.

She cried during our sessions. And then she stopped crying after she let it out and talked to me.
