The understanding

Some things in your life are hard to understand for others.

And equally it is hard for you to understand a lot of things in other people’s life.

I made the experience that I had not clue und was not able to relate to some big events in other people’s life (marriage, buying your own house, raising children, family-life).

Only after I experienced the same ciscumstances I could suddenly relate. And understood.

And I started to realize that more and more of my past reactions suddenly seemed to have been very honest but also inappropriate.

So I derived some key learnings:

• Be careful when judging other people’s life and accept it the way they live it (or you might end up finding yourself inappropriate later on)
• Don’t expect others to related to what you feel like right now – because you might be worse at it than you imagine
• Actions and events always have to be judged taking into account the timing and context

I believe this concept is generally referd to as wisdom.
