People claim they look for understanding in the people around them, but we all know that's just bullshit. What people want is acceptance. We are unique and complex individuals, there is no way for other people to understand us, even if they went through the same experiences, it's not the same.
No matter how many times I hear "I understand" I automatically exchange it with "I accept", because that's what it's supposed to be perceived as. Understanding is something much more complicated than that, to know the feelings is not the same as living them and people, well people are selfish by nature and there's nothing wrong with that.
God asks you to love yourself first, to make something of yourself first, for you to always be the example, so it's okay to be selfish sometimes, especially when it's something that enables you to live freely. The limit of acceptance and understanding is something we come up with, no other man can tell you otherwise. Of course society has its own boundaries, its own laws and regulations, but beside that only one stands the most true and important: your freedom stops where an others' freedom begins.

So next time you claim you understand or you wish to be understood, ask yourselft this: can you truly say you understand yourself?
