No
matter how enlightened and wise one feels, or is, one can not escape the
reality that all thoughts, feelings, and observations are limited and
from only our own point of view. No matter how hard we try, how much we
empathize, how objective, intelligent, or how psychic we are, we can not
see the world through anyone else's eyes, hear with anyone else's ears,
or feel with anyone else's heart. But
that's fine, and a proper thing, because we have something wonderful
called 'communication'. When we begin to listen to one another
genuinely, we can then hear what they hear, see what they see, and feel
what they feel, or at least as much as they tell us. That's the best
we've got, and it's enough if it's used well.
