Being Understood

One basic need for human beings is to be UNDERSTOOD. Therefore it is a great chesed to understand another person. Yet, there are very few people who actually do! Why is this so?

In order to understand somebody else one needs to step out of his or her own reality and enter as much as possible into someone elses. This requires a nullification of the ego that necessitates one to transcend nature. Most people are not aware of this, or even if they are aware they are not willing to do so. So the mass of men continue to suffer a feeling of loneliness due to the knowledge that, maybe not physically, but emotionally, they are indeed all alone.

Try to understand someone today. Be like Hashem. He understands:-)!
