I lovvvved this post! I think it pretty much sums up all I wanted to say:

To add on though, this is also relevant when we GIVE advice. Very often we feel our advice makes a lot of sense and are annoyed when the other person sees things differently. Well, it perfectly natural. Try as you might, it is impossible to be another person. We don't have the technology (brain surgery?) to do that yet. The most helpful you can get is to share your experience, share experience others' experience and share your perspective. And remember, as "right" as you might sound to yourself, you might sound equally "wrong" to the other person and there is nothing contradictory about that.
Everything in this universe is relative! :)
