Feel and understand

"To understand something first we need to feel"
       Actually it is a simple line with in-depth meaning. Many consequences have occurred in everyone's life. We usually judge things from 1 point of view or in other words, our point of view.

      I'll give you an example. Consider a situation that you are walking in a road, with a bun in your hand. Some random small child rushes towards you and steal your bun. How will you react ?
      First thing you may do is to catch that child, and teach him/her some good manners.
or gathering public and bashing that child.
or cursing that child and letting go off the situation.

But think once in the point of view of that child. That child may not even had it's food since days. May be it was walking in streets with immense hunger and that hunger may have made it to steal the bun from your hand. I'm not justifying that stealing was right thing. But I'm explaining the actual fact.
Of course to be honest I may not think in this way but that may be the truth.

This is where that above quote comes into the picture. If we have felt that hungriness, we may have let that child go with bun or catch that child and give him/her some food. Moreover we would never curse that child since we know how it feels. So if we had faced that situation we could have felt it right?

That's what the quote says. Its beautiful and it was mentioned in an abacus book. Writer wrote it with respect to abacus, so that children may start loving mathematics. I just felt to share this quote and wrote this.
