A man of wisdom always looks at every problem from the other’s point of view also. You cannot be wise if you have only one point of view. Sometimes try to stand in others’ shoes and just look from there. And if you can understand the other, you will be able to understand yourself more. The other always sees that you are an egoist. You never see it, you are blind to yourself. Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh
About This Quote

The idea of standing in another person’s shoes and looking from where they are coming from is what wisdom is all about. We all have different perspectives and points of view, so we can never truly understand each other. But if we try to look at the world from the other person’s perspective, we will be able to see things differently and begin to understand them better. We all have a unique way of seeing things, but when we try to look at the world from another person’s point of view, we can learn a lot about them and discuss problems together in a better way.
