"It's so easy for us to misperceive and see the things in others that we want to see. And, when we're wrong, and often we're dead wrong, we miss the truth"

This quote by Kevin Spacey talks to the human tendency to forecast our own desires and expectations onto others. We often assume that others are believing and feeling the same way we are, and when we are incorrect, we lose out on the truth. This can cause misconceptions and hurt sensations, as we are not seeing the other person for who they really are. It is essential to take an action back and attempt to look at the situation objectively, rather than through the lens of our own predispositions. We should aim to be open-minded and understanding of others, and to acknowledge that our own understandings might not constantly be precise.
