not just seeing someone as they appear, but seeing who someone is.
with strangers, that's hard, it's easy to judge, and it's not often that you see the same stranger more than once or twice.
what about your friends or your family?
you see them often, you talk to them, you play with them, you trust them. but how well do you see them?
arguments arise out of miscommunication and misunderstanding. of course we all have are different opinions, it's easy to say that and think that and know that but how often to we put that knowledge to use? if you know that everyone is going to think differently than you, why would you be upset that they don't agree all the time? why would you be mad that they do something they want to do that you wouldn't want to do? maybe you can't understand why they think the things they think or say the things they say or do the things they do, but you can understand that they are different than you and what they think and and say do is for a good reason, regardless of if others understand it.
maybe it would be better if we all practiced understanding, openness, and acceptance, in our daily lives, with our interactions with everyone around us.
maybe you can't understand why i would write this, but you can understand that i have a good reason for writing it. maybe you wouldn't write this, but you could still read it, with an open mind, and try to understand what i am trying to convey, and accept that this is how i feel, even if it isn't how you feel.
and maybe you can be okay with that.
