UpVoted... and I prefer to add @nirgf I was fascinated with the word "understand". Later I was listening to a Zig Ziglar lecture on tape. He said, "why are you standing under there in the first place?" That shook Me. In wisdom one shall stand on a better position to see more and better. Possibly abovesit. To understand others as in the question is to read Arab Mehrabian who presented a research finding: Elements of Personal Communication - 7 % spoken words. 38% voice tone and 55% body language.
