Another Point of View

     First, understanding our own point of view is difficult.  We experience life through our own value systems and emotions and have confidence that our own opinions are correct.
     Second, understanding another point of view is very difficult.  We must really want to do this before we can be successful.  We have to temporarily set aside our own view and judgment to be able to see through the eyes or walk in the shoes of someone else.
     Finally, understanding another point of view doesn't mean we have to alter our own.  It can help us clarify our thinking and hopefully improve our ability to get along with others.  It can help us understand the bigger picture.  Seeing another point of view is part of grownup thinking.
