Understanding

UNDERSTANDING

to understand another,
one must never contemplate
the feeling of irrational judgement sought,
but hesitate for more
more understanding of cause,
more allowances of reasons pursued,
and the ability to walk in shoes of another soul
and to understand the other;
for that reason 
one must never contemplate,
but hesitate to allow for more….
