How much do you really understand a person?

Understanding, in some dictionary can be describe as (IN BRIEF) as "Know and comprehend the nature or meaning of; Perceive (an idea or situation) mentally". So, how much do we understand the word "understand"? For some, understand is just a word that used by ones daily. For me, understand is the word that i always used too. I usually do understand an actions of someone, understand lectures, understand why life will always be life, understand that dreams will always be dreams and many other more. But, the one thing that I would not try to say that i fully understand is a person's heart or brain. It is always hard for me to understand someone without fully knowing the person. But, sometimes, even though we truly know the someone for long, still we might not be understanding him/her as well. Well, that's just the nature of life.

It's always hard for some to understand another, one reason. That is, because the heart of a human can change in split seconds. One minute when we thought that we fully understand a person, another minutes, we might not even know the person. Well, that's a heart of human. Let's take for example, a girl. A girl can have change of heart very fast, and i really meant that, really fast. One minute, she can treat a person very nice, and another minute, she can even hated the person. I recently did encountered this event before. That's one reason i choose this topic to write about today.

Understanding need lots of time to work on, but changing is just split seconds. I once thinks that i truly understand all of my friends and mates. But, nowadays, I felt like i am failing myself or this is just how life goes? Sometimes when we thought that when we fully understands someone, we might be even further from that person. Few months ago, i thought ghost or spirit or even monster is quite scary. But now, what i am most afraid of is the heart of a human. You won't even know if they will betray you, hate you, or even wanted to kill you.

But sometimes, understanding someone also need to depends on the attitude of another person. When we tought that we really understand that person, sometimes we might be wrong. Because, the another person might be very friendly and you are never exposed to someone like this before. So, you might be quite passionate bout the another person. But, in the end, it might be just be a misunderstanding. The other person might be too friendly and you misunderstood that she/he might be interested in you, but it's not the real story behind it. This is one event that i encountered recently. This is another reason i took the chance to write about this. Please share some feedback and comment.
