Sanwen
No. 18 · In Their Shoes
The verse
I stand before the mountain and see one face;
you walk behind it and see another peak.
What it means
Disagreements often come from standing in different places. Today suits thinking from the other person's angle; even if your view stays the same, the conversation will be calmer.
Something to do today
- In one discussion, restate the other person's view before giving your own.
