The first word in this document is "Imagine", how can it be clearer than that?

This is a common setup to build empathy so doesn't always mean "the following is a hypothetical thought exercise", such as "Imagine you find your self in the same situation as me, your house struck by lightning..."
Given all the pictures in the article, I took that to mean "imagine you were in my situation", not "imagine this happened to me".
It's ambiguous; the word can be used not only for a hypothetical, but also a "put yourself in my shoes"
Unfortunately the Internet is rife with poor sarcasm and misleading titles.
