To Understand

Why can't people understand?

Could it be they don’t share the same philosophy?

The same intellect,

The ability to learn and accept,

Or could it be as simple as not comprehending the concept?

 

Emotionally charged conversations

Lead to abstract thoughts of speculation

The logical power to rationalize

Is replaced with feelings to theorize

 

Removing the complexities

And focusing on the simplicities

Allows for clearer consideration

And eventually internal reflection

 

Accepting another’s perspective

Will be more receptive

And even if unsolicited

Understanding is always appreciated.

The power of understanding is such a vital part of our livelihoods.I know a lot of people who are very closed minded and refuse to be open-minded about anything.Understanding a person can make him or her feel like there is a listening ear and heart out there in this world.I enjoy reading this poem,take care

Respect and understanding is at the top of the list and yes, some people would rather not face the inevitale until they are forced. Interesting piece to ponder...

Be always safe,

It is complex for sure and the beauty of this world is in it's peoples...not two are the same intelligence, temperment, or likes and dislikes. I guess it is also what keeps life and people from being boring. If all were perfect than who could we aim to follow for examples.
