It’s hard to generalize something like this, as in, it’s hard to pick one single thing that many people don’t understand.
I think we don’t understand what we don’t know, or are ignorant of.
Parenting is a prime example of that. Before you’re a parent you think you know how it’s going to go and what you allow and not allow. People who don’t have kids can have unrealistic expectations as well, of other people’s kids. But until you’ve lived it, there’s no way you can know it.
Along a different track, the song “They Don’t Know” by Jason Aldean comes to mind. Okay I know he did something or said something not nice and I shouldn’t be quoting or admiring him. I don’t know what the thing was because I don’t watch celebrity news or anything even close. But the song is about little hick towns or farming communities and it resonates with me because I was raised on a farm.
People who drive through it, who are not from it must have so many misgivings or biases about what goes on in these farming communities. What they don’t get is the connection to the land the farmer feels. How the land is like a motherly being to that farmer. The varying weather patterns that can make or break you, the moods you could say, of that mother. It’s a very spiritual connection.
The world would be a better place if there was more understanding of each other.
