How often do you place yourself in the shoes of another? It's a good habit to get in to, and one that deserves practice. Consciously, give it a try today. Choose a stranger out of a crowd; anyone you see. Try to imagine what is going through their mind at that very moment.
Look at their eyes; do you see joy? Fear? Uncertainty? What might have brought about this portrayal of emotion? Even those that conceal their emotions from their peers are betrayed by their eyes. One can experience a hundred lives every day if they only pay attention to the eyes of others. They truly are windows to the soul.
So often do we feel like we're alone in the world. Look around you; you'll find that it is far from the truth. The more you look into the lives of others, the more you realize it. Everyone is just like you: uncertain, weary, hopeful. Though our bodies change, we are all still like children, searching for stability.
