You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it. -- Harper Lee, To Kill A Mockingbird -
Even then though, we don't know wnyone else's past, not really, and that's what makes us all who we are so we'll never really know anyone. Even those who tell us some of their past, we only have the information they give, not the true feelings and emotions which shaped them. We never really know anyone, we barely understand ourselves...
Love the quote...I have to work Mockingbird back onto my re-read list for 2013. I do love that book and find Harper (and her relationship to Capote) to be totally fascinating.
My favorite book EVER!

Could it be that the secret of true love is to know one's loved one better than anyone else?
