Life in another's shoes.

Do you ever think about what someone else's life is like? What they feel emotionally, physically... what their mental capacities are and what sort of experiences they've had? If there's ever been even a fleeting thought in your mind of the sort, explain who it was, why, and what visions you had of that person. I imagine the life of Pablo Picasso's first wife, Olga. She must have been young, and in love, but not fufilled by Pablo because the energy he could have spent getting close to this woman was spent on canvas time. She was a ballerina so I imagine a small, flexible body that took much training. I cannot decide, however, how she felt being married to him still because of the French laws, even though they were seperated. I am partial to the thought that she moved on to another man, or probably just went back to her family and spent her time and efforts with them.

it is wise to let yourself be in someone's shoes from time to time to know how one feels but as to you being in the shoes of picasso's wife is a different situation because you don't relly know who she is a person, you did not know what transpired in their relationships and most of all you were not in love with picasso.geeting into someone's shoes means emphatizing the other person.it is ike asking you , how would you feel or what would you do if he had done that to you? so you would know the answer.
