Oh my god, I just realised I forgot to explain the meaning of understanding. This will be a quick and short entry.

The word ‘understand’ can have 2 meanings, pick your choice.

A. Understand – Comprehension of the current situation and put yourself in the victim’s shoes to  understand better.

B. Understand – Comprehension of the current situation and look at the situation from a 3rd person’s view to truly understand.

Now, wtf is understanding when you hear the story, and then take sides? Understanding is the comprehension of WHY someone tells you the story – the need to find someone to talk to. Not listen and then agree or disagree.

Understand the situation or how the person is feeling? Even if you know the situation very well, know who is right or wrong, who is the idiot, who should apologise, it’s pretty useless. There’s a limit to what you can do to the above.

But if you know how the person is feeling, no matter which side (right or wrong), you can apply the right comfort/ words to console the person. Not ‘yes yes, I agree. I don’t like him too.’ and make the hatred stronger.

Which friend will encourage their own friends to go against people? If they are not happy with someone, they should change it, not get as many people to hate him/ her. That, obviously, is the weaker side which cannot fight on their own.

Sorry, I am going to remain UN with Xiang Yun, and International with Pei Yi and Shihui. Aaron, good choice to just buy popcorn and watch this.
