Our loving family dog was nearing
the end of his life and was in
obvious distress. My father, wanting
to help him, picked him up to put him
in a little bed we had made for him.
Our dog, who we had given many
hours of loving care to, bit my father
as he attempted to help him. How
could he? I thought. Why? I couldn't
understand it. I remember how for a
short time, I didn't like him anymore.

Last week, I went to speak with a
neighbor, someone with whom I had
always enjoyed speaking with. When
I knocked on the door, I was met
with a scowl and harsh words. When
the door was slammed in my face, I
just stood there shocked, and in a
rush, I was reminded of how my dog
had bitten my father those 20 years
ago or so. What brought that story
back was that same brief feeling of
betrayal.

Both stories taught me something
the next day. When I got up in the
morning and was told my dog had
died, it became clear to me that he
must have been in incredible pain.
For him to have bitten, what he must
have considered a family member,
he could not have been himself.
Much the same for story number 2
when I learned that the person's
spouse had just left them.

This is where I point out that we
are all creatures of our
environments, of our perceptions
and feelings. And all of those
things can cause you to say, and
do things that seem inexplicable to
those not immersed in or having
knowledge of, the same
environment.

You might feel it important to express
your ideas and feelings as a way of
communicating with other people.
•
What is more important is to
understand other people’s thoughts,
feelings, aspirations, attitudes,
behaviors, and the factors that
inspire and motivate them.

Why People Fail to Understand

Common fears are focused on:
•
Rejection.
•
Not being given due credit.
•
Being perceived as a threat or a trouble
maker.
•
Being seen as job security risk.
–
What are the common areas of fear around
you?

2.
Self-Centeredness.
•
Instead of focusing on your own
interests, you should see things
from other people’s perspective.
•
This kind of attitude takes
commitment but also enables you to
understand other people’s points of
view.

Philip 2:4
–
Look not every man on his own
things, but every man also on the
things of others.

Failure to Appreciate Differences.

1 Cor 12:17-19

where were the hearing? If the
whole were hearing, where were
the smelling?

But now hath God set the
members every one of them in
the body, as it hath pleased him.

where were the body?

Failure to Acknowledge
Similarities.

Everyone has hopes, fears,

others who experience things
similar to what you experience.
