Can You

How many can look through the eyes of another
and actually see what they see.
How many can stand in another's shoes 
and truly feel or know what's there.
How many can truly say I understand,
knowing that each situation although similar,is not the same.
How many actually know 
that what you now read is true.
How many can truly say,
they walked a mile in the place of another
How many can say that the steps they took
were exactly the same.
How many people are actually wrong by not knowing,
all shoes don't fit the same.
How many people can actually look within themselves
be able to say that what you now read may perhaps be incorrect
how many people know that at least this is something to give thought to.
Not many.
