About This Quote
The distance between two minds is understanding. This quote is beautiful because it explains the power of true friendship. It takes an open-minded person to truly understand another person. They are able to see things from the other person’s point of view, sometimes even more clearly than the other person himself.
They are able to see things that the other person may not be able to see. It also takes a lot of trust in order to be able to communicate with another person in this manner. There have been times where I have wanted to talk to someone, but was unable because of boundaries between us, so I decided not to talk about what I was trying to say.
What if they didn’t get what I was trying to say? What if they misunderstood me? They are not the only one who can get lost in their own head. The quote implies that communicating with another is vital for understanding and friendship, and for happiness for each and every one of us in life.
