You have to see and smell and feel the circumstances of people to really understand them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view.
Our understanding is correlative to our perception.
You don't need the world to understand you. It's fine. Some people will never really understand things they haven't experienced. Some will. Be grateful.
I think it's important to understand the concrete ways things work and to respect that. But some things shouldn't be explained, and you have to respect that, too.
I believe that if you can discover something of the truth of a person, then you will start to understand, and to understand is to move towards, if not like, then at least an empathy of some kind.
Ultimately, it's an illusion that you can understand yourself.
When you really listen to another person from their point of view, and reflect back to them that understanding, it's like giving them emotional oxygen.
I think understanding is the way to gain perspective - and therefore can live among those hideous realities. You can live with them.
I don't think you have to have experienced things to understand them.
When you understand one thing through and through, you understand everything.
