If you could view life through the eyes of another person for one day, a 24-hour period, who would it be? (You wouldn’t become that person for a day, but you’d see things as they see them.) Why would you choose this person? What would be the results?

If I could view life through someones eyes for a twenty four hour period I would have to choose my fiance,because I would love to see how she looks at things,and how she looks at me,and plus it would make us closer because if I could see how she sees things,and think the way she does,just like if she saw things the way I see them,and thought the way I do,then we would understand each other even better.

Your choice is the same as mine. I want to see life through my fiance's eyes as well because sometimes I just don't understand him! (LOL) I think it'd help in bringing us closer too. When something happens, we'd already know how the other person would handle it and why they do those things we just don't get. It makes the most sense of anything to see life through the eyes of the person you're closest to because they're your life and the person you see and talk to the most. Why not? I think it's a great choice! Thanks so much for sharing and have a great day!

I think it is difficult to view life through other's eyes. Yet, if given the chance, I would like to view the life through the eyes of my wife. She keeping telling me that there is always scope for learning and improvement, provided you have the will. Sometimes I agree with here and sometimes I do not. I would like to view the situation, when I do not come to an agreement with her, how does anger start building in her mind, towards my resistence.....LOL!

Great answer! (LOL) Very interesting also. I've been told many times that men have a difficult time understanding us women sometimes (if not all the time!) I know it can seem quite odd at times why we do what we do, but that's why I like your answer. Seeing life through your wife's eyes for a day will definitely teach you a lot and will reveal to you more about her. I don't think spouses could learn enough about one another...even in a lifetime. Great choice, my friend. Thanks so much for sharing!

hi jj! 
if i would be able to view life through another person's eyes, i would like them to be a child's eyes. i think it would be fun, interesting and eye-opening if i can see the world through a child's eyes. and if possible, get a glimpse of what they are thinking. that way, i can understand how they see things and people, what they mean when they are trying to tell something or when they want to do something, how small their world is and how big everything is. i was once a kid, we were once children but we don't really remember how are we then right? so i guess it would be interesting to see life through a child's eyes.

I agree with you completely. Yes, it sure has been a while since I was a child! (LOL) I think it'd be a good reminder of where we came from to go back and see life through the eyes of an innocent child, what it was like when we didn't have to pay bills, take care of a house or even a family, have kids, etc. I'd actually really like to go back to being a child for maybe a day! (LOL) I think this would definitely be a good exercise for all of us. Thanks, Secret Bear!

Great answer and very interesting. She's such a giving person, isn't she? How cute is it that she gave up her time to have children with Brad and raise them! I think that's really sweet...and got a chuckle out of your first comment..."not only to look at Brad Pitt..." (LOL) I enjoyed reading your response and really appreciate the time you took to respond to this discussion. Take care, friend!

Thanks, Marketing. If I had to choose, I'd want to see the world through my fiance's perspective for more than one reason. First of all, I'm a woman so I'd want to know how a man thinks. Second, he's my fiance whom I'm going to marry someday, so I'd better understand him in order to have a happy and successful marriage. Great answer! Have a great day, my friend.

I usually can see life through the eyes of my alomost 8 year old...I've been doing it since he was a baby and it has worked wonderfully for me.
hmm...let me think of an adult.....should it be a famous personality or someone I know?
lol...going by my last few discussions, I'd really like to see life through the eyes of the Principal of my school. Though she has changed a lot in the last 5 years that I've known her....it's hard to see how she views life. I find her talking so much about her concerns towards children and she doesn't spend time with the 3 she has. Her words are very inspiring....but I find her lacking on the action bit and I'd really like to know how she really thinks.

I'm sorry, but this is quite odd! I believe this is the third or fourth time I've attempted to leave a comment on your response. I want you to know that I read and enjoyed it, of course! It's always a wonderful thing to see life through your child's eyes because it really helps in figuring out what they're thinking and why they do what they do. Having not been blessed with children...yet...(LOL) I'm not exactly sure what a parent must see, but I'm sure I'll be there soon! As far as your answer, I think your choice is amazing. I'd definitely be interested in seeing life through the principal's eyes as well. How odd...her situation...or rather, the situation she's set up for herself. It doesn't quite make sense. I think it'd certainly answer a lot of questions to see things from her eyes for a 24-hour period. Thanks so much for your response. Take care and have a wonderful day!

Good answer! I never thought of that, but what an excellent idea and very kind of you to try to help her. I truly believe that's what she needs, a good friend and someone who cares about her enough to tell it like it is and not beat around the bush letting her make a fool of herself. I'm sure she'd appreciate your friendship and kindness. Great response and thanks a bunch!

do you know the movie Being John Malkovich directed by Spike Jonze? your question is like that movie's plot only reduce the time to 3 minutes... i love that film.
anyway, if i could see life from another person's eyes i'd choose the first stranger i meet on the street. just because it would be as real as anything or anyone else's. i usually play that game in my head, looking at other people from across the street or waiting in line and then try to figure out what they could be thinking about? how do they feel about their life? what is important to them...?
