I love experience, it is something we can all relate to and we can all understand easily. We all have experience whether it is with pain, love, lies, relationships, lessons of growing up, illness, hate, learning about things, or even death. One thing I know is certain; we all have experience with life. Another thing I find is that no matter who or what you are, you have some sort of experience being that.
I have many experiences, most involving myself but many involving others. Experience is very interesting because you can have the exact same thing happen to two different people and the results are always unique. It is always hard to relate to someone mainly because people take these experiences differently. And yet experience is the thing that allows us to understand why our friends and family and every other person acts the way they do!
Nobody experiences the same thing and acts exactly the same as the others do, but we do usually have the same psychological reactions. For a simple example if you were to break up with someone you really liked you might possibly feel sad or mad or somewhere in between. We know Psychology is something that is based on people’s experiences and emotions and how they dealt with the situation at hand. We can use our experiences and our reason to learn from these mistakes or even solve some of them. I believe that we can feel other peoples pain by “putting us in their shoes”. In other words, pretend it was us in their experience being bad or good or somewhere in between and we can relate to them in a somewhat similar way. I believe that If we can understand our friends and if we know each others way of acting to certain situations and “put each other in the others shoes” then we truly are more then piers. We are people who relate to each other and understand with compassion the others perspective or I believe in other words best friends.
I believe that our own experiences link us to our friends and that all you need to have a good friendship is a good understanding of one another, And realizing there are experiences where you can rely on their understanding as well as your own to understand the situation at hand.
