Understanding...

Daily I find situations where people just hurt each other, sometimes without any justifiable purpose, either by words or actions. And lots of those situations could be prevented, or even improved, if everyone gave themselves a chance to just hear and understand each other.

I think most people in this world don't really know what that word means.

So, here are some famous inspirational quotes on "understanding" which I received today from the Positivity Blog, and from which everyone could learn something:

Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.
Carl Jung

Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain but it takes character and self control to be understanding and forgiving.
Dale Carnegie

Never do today what you can put off till tomorrow. Delay may give clearer light as to what is best to be done.
Aaron Burr

All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.
Galileo Galilei

You don’t need strength to let go of something. What you really need is understanding.
Guy Finley

Everyone hears only what he understands.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to.
Kahlil Gibran

Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.
Marie Curie

Don’t believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding, find out what you already know, and you’ll see the way to fly.
Richard Bach

You do not understand even life. How can you understand death?
Confucius

Furious activity is no substitute for understanding.
H.H Williams

If we are to live together in peace, we must come to know each other better.
Lyndon Johnson

A matter that becomes clear ceases to concern us.
Friedrich Nietzsche

The reality of the other person is not in what he reveals to you, but in what he cannot reveal to you. Therefore, if you would understand him, listen not to what he says but rather what he does not say.
Kahlil Gibran

About me

"I'd seen the light. It was this glaringly obvious blind realization, like pure truth! And it wasn't about anyone in particular, but about people in general. I realized (...) there is no such thing as THE one... It's more about mind-bogling whole hell of a lot of potential ones. Although that should be conforting, it's actually pretty terrifying. We'd all have to kick back and wait for some magical force to show us who we should spend the rest of our lifes with. But the truth is... there isn't a lightning-bolt that slaps you on the ass and tells you to pick this person over all others! If anything... it's like the rain. Rain falls all the time... sometimes you're prepared for it, sometimes you're not. Independent where you are when it hits, you either get caught in it or you don't. (In fact, most of us usually try like hell to avoid it.) You might miss the bus, you might catch the bus. Maybe you remembered your umbrella, maybe you didn't. No big science. Just random torrential bursts of opportunity. And that's the most fate can do. The rest... is up to us!"
By Walt Becker & Peter W. Nelson, in "Buying the Cow"
