Understanding

I wish often that there was a way to understand someone's story, to understand the essence of them and where they came from, their culture, their memories, their views.
Like a file you could just upload for each new person, and then you'd understand.
I find that frustrating, that you can never understand personally exactly what people mean, because they have a completely different life.

It's like how someone can explain something to you, but you can never know exactly what they mean until you do it yourself. But you can never completely understand what they mean. You need to live their life. I want to find the step beyond empathy!
