Importance to be able to understand others point of view
“Amy you know I do this for your own good,” Amy’s mother expresses with a calming voice. “Just let me be myself, Rose. Don’t stick your head in others’ business,” Amy screams with anger across the living room looking away from her mother. In our world today, there are many who struggle with understanding others. It’s important to be able to see a situation from another person’s point of view because it allows to be more understanding and have less regretful moments.
Everyone wishes for others to understand their struggles, whether is a teenager, an exhausted teacher, or a frustrated mother of four. For example, stomping down the path, Jamie curses at the air all frustrated and angry because his mom questions why he desires to go to a party. “It’s just a party can’t she understand! Ugh!” Jamie shouts at the uninvolved-innocent-air. Parents need to take a step back and remember the good old days of when they were teenagers and put themselves in their kids position and understand they need to unwrap themselves and explore life on their own. In addition, parents need to be understood, too. “Jo, you get your butt over here and stop annoying your sister!” after five long hours at work, Oliva gets ready for her necessary job at home with her two children. Just like teenagers, adults need a person to understand their I’ll-kill-myself-days. Everyone rides the same boat when it comes to trying to understand others. No one is born with excellent understanding.
People all around the world have experienced a time when they had a misunderstanding and they wish to take it back. For example, skipping down the school hall way, Laine suddenly hears hushed voices coming from room the restroom. Wondering what’s going on, she peeks in and sees Lily and Bailey, her two close friends. Trying to listen closer she heard her name being called, quickly she runs out of the restroom and cries think her closest friends where talking behind her back. A lot of people automatically assume something bad want down behind their back instead of putting themselves in the person’s position and imagining what amazing surprises they might have. Also, having already cried her eyes out Laine gets up and opens the door of the library, where she was letting her life fall apart, she slams into someone and stumbles to the ground. Lily and Bailey, the ones Laine slammed into, quickly start to apologize and try to help her. Laine, remembering what happened, quickly gets away from them. Confused, Lily and Bailey ask her what happened and Laine’s water works go back to action. Anyone can easily mistake a surprise birthday party for a backstab, it’s important to think of options before coming up with our own. Adults and teenagers both need to take a step back and try to understand the reasons behind others actions.
Therefore, Amy along with everyone else need to consider looking backwards and try to remember what parents, friends, or a coworker has gone through to make their actions because it’s important to know the situation through other eyes.
