This document discusses how individuals each live in their own unique world and perspective. While we expect others to share our truths, their worlds may diverge from our own at times. True love and understanding means accepting that others' worlds will change over time, and holding them in our hearts even when perspectives differ, rather than expecting to fully know or control their experience. Bringing harmony to relationships requires understanding each other from within, without demanding complete knowledge of another's world.
