Fish swim in the water, thinking that all animals can find pleasure in the water.

However, when it jumped out of the water, it realized that other animals couldn't enjoy the joy of water like it did, and it couldn't feel the freedom outside the water either.

The same applies between people. Many times, we tend to stick to our original thinking. Having different experiences makes it difficult to empathize; Having different positions makes it difficult to apply oneself to others.

True high emotional intelligence is not about standing in one's own shoes and doing good for others, but about stepping out of one's own shoes and understanding and respecting the differences of others.

In life, many times we only want to believe what we see and are unwilling to accept what contradicts our own thoughts. But in fact, always using one's own ruler to measure others is the biggest flaw in interpersonal communication.

I have heard a saying: "The truth you see may only be an illusion." If people always judge others by themselves, the ultimate result will only be alienation from others.

Compared to comments with an unknown full picture, understanding and respect are more wisdom.

I strongly agree with a saying: If you haven't experienced someone else's life, don't judge them easily, because when you stand in their shoes, you may not be able to make better choices.

People's hearts are all mutual. When we have more tolerance and understanding, we can reduce some barriers and prejudices. This is empathetic compassion, as well as empathetic understanding and caring for others.

A person's upbringing is nothing more than suppressing one's own speculation and understanding how to empathize and consider the feelings of others.

Don't speculate about others, we need to step out of our own position, free up space and opportunities, and embrace a pure and kind heart.

What we hear is a viewpoint, not necessarily a fact; What we see is only a perspective, not necessarily the truth.

Although life has its ups and downs, it never lacks warmth and kindness. Let go of paranoia, take off your colored glasses, and you can gain more beauty and emotion in your interactions with others.

A writer once wrote: You can never truly understand someone. Unless you put on his shoes and think from his perspective.

Not blindly defining or interpreting is not only respect for others, but also a kind of empathy.

When we step out of our own position and treat others kindly, we will naturally be treated gently by the world.
