I guess the thing to realize is that...Yes, it does. I guess the thing to realize is that you'll never fully be able to understand another person's feelings no matter hard you try -- all that matters is that you do try.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09570541302651229194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7585761715742199135.post-91809914363265125642011-02-23T11:49:21.816-08:002011-02-23T11:49:21.816-08:00Not at all - I don't think so, anyway. It'...Not at all - I don't think so, anyway. It's hard to try and visualize everyone's feelings with accuracy. I think that they trying is half the battle - and the other half is having the person in question help you understand. For example, one of my roommates had a younger sister to whom she was very close pass away last year. I have no idea what that sort of loss feels like, or what she must have gone through. But I have lost a relative, so I have a little understanding - and what I don't fully comprehend, she has explained to me. So both having felt similar (though lesser) feelings, and with her help, I am able to empathize with her more completely.

I can *try* to imagine their pain, but if I fail (which I'm sure I do and often), am I just being pretentious in empathizing with them?Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09570541302651229194noreply@blogger.com
