Meaning
This reads as encouragement for people who feel marked out by their appearance or pain. The line suggests that hardship can become a source of insight, and that those who have been tested may later help others who feel left out or ashamed. It lands for someone comparing themselves badly to others, because it reframes difference as a kind of responsibility.
