"You can’t possibly know what it’s like to be someone else, but it’s also true that no one knows what it’s like to be you." - Seth Godin

"You can’t possibly know what it’s like to be someone else, but it’s also true that no one knows what it’s like to be you." 
People, friends and foe included can sometimes confuse us. 
We wonder, we try to decipher why they do what they do. 
Sometimes we even think we understand them.
Sometimes we advise them, sometimes we ridicule and discourage them. 
Yet the truth is, you can't fully comprehend what it's like to be them, to be in their own shoes, to see the world from their own eyes and experiences. 

Understand also that no one knows what it's really like to be you.
Don't try to get everyone to understand you. 
It's impossible for people to know what it's like to be you. 
Not everyone can fully appreciate why you think or do the many 'crazy' things you do. 
Not that people hate you, they may even love you, yes they do. 
Yet, it's too much to ask for to expect everyone to know what it's like to be who you are.
Forgive them. 
Appreciate people for who they strive to be, don't judge anyone. 
Spend you time instead being yourself and creating the good you are trying to create.
