Difference

Difference between Understanders and Others.


Understanders don't completely understand. They have only began to understand. But once they start and reach a certain point, I'll catalog them as Understanders.


I've only met a few.


They're rare in younger circles. Why? These days understanding has lost the value that it deserves. Why reach out to the kid who insults you when you can just be comfortable with yourself? She'd keep bringing you down, after.


That's wrong.


Yes, you should learn to be comfortable with yourself, but that's only halfway.


When one kid insults another, the initial advice is: it's doesn't matter, you're important, beautiful, and not what the bully attacked. But that's only part of what should be done. You've fixed the victim, but what about the bully? Who's reaching out to them?


It's hard to reach out to those who seem like they don't want to be reached. And if they've truly closed themselves off, then you would be wasting your time trying to help them. But more often then not, they want to be helped. There's reason. They don't understand.


Understanding doesn't fester in those who won't use it. Practical intelligence can be possessed without use, but understanding is more than just practical intelligence.
