Summary

This quote highlights the distinction between watching and observing. It suggests that while many of us spend our lives passively observing the world around us, very few actually engage in the active act of truly seeing and understanding what is happening. We may watch television, glance at a clock, or observe the traffic, but it takes a deeper level of attention and awareness to be an observer. Being an observer involves actively and attentively observing the details, nuances, and underlying truths that often go unnoticed by mere watchers.

She had heard it said that, before you could understand anybody, you needed to walk a mile in their shoes, which did not make a whole lot of sense, because probably AFTER you had walked a mile in their shoes, you would understand that they were chasing you and accusing you of the theft of a pair of shoes--although, of course, you could probably outrun them, owing to their lack of footwear.
