It's ok to understand other people. But it's not enough. Advertence is necessary too. Because it's easy to understand abstract person if you're not a victim but outside observer. Imagine you say to friend who needs your help: "I understand the man who stole from you because he was starved". Or that: "I understand that scumbag who raped you because his wife ran out on him and he wanted to blow off steam". Only most hard-hearted person can say that. .Bryanna Reid
About This Quote
When you understand others it is very important, but understanding others doesn't make you more compassionate. You must always be willing to help them. If your friend is in trouble and can't pay his rent, you should help him. But if he is doing something stupid and you don't want to help him, at least, try not to make fun of him behind his back or make cruel jokes about him.
