I agree with your post whole heartedly!

There is another good word for that....it's simple called "empathy".
Not telling someone what you know from your "ego's" experience...but just trying to deeply feel what the other person feels like. How it is to be "them".
Sounds simple doesn't it? Hmmm.....let's try that...shall we?
