Viewing the world though another's eyes..

When baby-proofing a room, what is the best way to do it? You get down on the ground and see the world through the eyes of your baby. Never before have such dangers and opportunities for mischief been so apparent! The same is true with relationships. Many times you may try to empathize with a person by saying "I know how you feel." But do you really? When a person cuts you off in traffic, do you curse them under your breath or throw an angry gesture? What if that person is really just having a hard day, dealing with an unruly toddler in the backseat? Attempting to view the world through another person's eyes builds empathy and thus a deeper understanding of that person. Think about others you conflict with before jumping to conclusions.Hve you done misjudging to other people or concluded something that you were not really sure of what happened?

I have always tried to live my life by walking in the other persons shoes for awhile, I try and not do to anyone anything I wouldn't want done to myself, but i guess I am a pretty sensitive person as I tend to think this way even with animals which has made me very upset at times, even hard to live with what i see how they are treated...
