Have you tried standing in another person’s shoe? I bet u did. It was one of the “understanding” action people would take when they see a point. It is good, and it is something that everyone encourages you to do.

After standing in his shoe, what do you do? You walk with his shoe. It is definitely not as easy to do. Most of the time, you do not have enough time to spare, to make the walk worth it. So to spare your time…

The next time, before you try standing in another person’s shoe, take some time to make sure that you have the same foot size as the person. If you do not share the same feet size, you can try standing in his shoe, feel a little bit of what he felt wearing it. It might seem a bit tight, or a bit loose. Doesn’t matter, you seems to have a clue on how he feels. That is enough for you.

If you want to reach his thoughts more, you might walk with that shoe that doesn’t exactly fit you. All you feel is pain and anguish while walking up that slope on a sunny day. Without being able to comprehend what other things he might have felt when walking with the same pair of shoes, you are already blinded by the inconvenience the shoe has given you.

It seems a rather stupid thing to do to be forgetting that you don’t have the same foot size as him. In real life though, isn’t that what a lot of people have been forgetting?

Putting aside your own interest and trying to understand others. It is the kind thing to do. But because we are taught this way since young, most of us didn’t give it a second thought before jumping into it.

What we get might not be the best result. Instead, assumptions naturally come out from what you feel from that same pair of shoe the person has been walking with, but what he felt was different. Is any of you wrong?
