Knowing Me

There is an old saying that says that before you judge others, try to walk in their shoes. What happens when you always put yourself in other people’s shoes that you forget to wear your own? The downside of it is that you won’t feel comfortable in your shoes anymore. Always trying to think about what others will feel and think, you end up becoming a stranger to your own thoughts and feelings. One day you’ll wake up and discover that you don’t have one original thought or feeling. In the end, you will lose the ability to think or feel. You are just made up of the bits and pieces of others, a patch of somebody else sewn together with the scraps of everybody else. A quilt with no pattern or design. You lose the ability to truly sympathize and you can no longer feel true empathy.
