Standing In His Or Her Shoes

The best way to understand a person is to "stand in his or her shoes."

This saying is very true. A person can not fully understand how another person feels without going through or seeing what they have gone through. People can guess and try to understand how another person feels about a certain topic or event but you can not fully understand their perspective.

For instance an everyday example is at any High School. Certain people have different views about High School. For instance a jock or really popular person might like school because of friends and activities they get to participate in at school. Where as a student that gets beat up and picked on all the time might hate school. They might dread going to school everyday because they would rather not be beaten on or picked on.

So try to put yourself in someone elses shoes every once in a while to try to understand how they feel about life.
