What is the size of Your Shoes?

I just suddenly remember one of my teacher back at school. Dr.Kalervo Aromaki and his lesson.
that is one of the best class i ever took during my college time....

The lesson that i learn from that class will never be forgotten...

What is the size of your shoes?

I dont ask for the literal size of the shoe, but rather metaphorical one....

we often judge people from the shoe that we wear instead of those people's shoes.

what do i mean by that?

We often telling those who are fat to be slim but we never feel how does it mean by being fat

We often telling those who smokes from the point of view of someone who never addicted to cigarettes

We often telling those who are drinking to stop drinking while ourselves never know how much pain that people have as the reason they drink

Im not trying to say that you should be trying all those things before giving your thought for them but rather trying to see things from their point of view

If we want to counsel those people to stop smoking, try to see beyond that addiction and try to know what drives them to do so

if we want to counsel those people to stop drinking, try to see beyond their alcoholic behavior and see what triggers them to do so

Try to wear an addict shoes to know what what addict feel

try to wear some rape victim body to know how it feel to be raped

before you can do so, stop trying to convince people to stop their bad habit
