Here's a sentence that I'd like to ask about.
- When you're in emotional pain, treat yourself with the same compassion you would expect from a truly good friend.
Here, can I insert 'as' to make a thorough sentence - "the same ~ as" ?
- When you're in emotional pain, treat yourself with the same compassion as you would expect from a truly good friend.
Or, is there any difference between #1 and #2?
