We often measure the depth of someone else's water by the length of our own legs.Nowhere is that more true than in politics right now. We look at a neighbor's vote, a stranger's post, or a family member's opinion and decide we already know who they are and why they think the way they do. We call their fears overblown and their struggles exaggerated, because the issue that is drowning them barely reaches our ankles.The price of groceries, the cost of insurance, a job that disappeared, a policy that touched their family and not ours. The same headline lands differently depending on where you're standing.Understanding someone doesn't mean agreeing with them. It means admitting you are only seeing the surface before you decide what's underneath.We can disagree without assuming the worst. Before you tell someone it isn't that deep, remember you're standing on a different rock. ...
