We always have the problem of comparing ourselves with others. If I had been in his position or her position, I would have done so much. I would have enjoyed and things like that. But, in reality it is not at all possible. Life is a exam created by god and there are different question papers, that have been set for each of us. If we try to copy answer from others, we might get caught. Moreover, the answer written by others, might not be suited for the questions that are asked to us.
It is very easy to criticise others, but when we stay in their position and the perform the tasks assigned to them, then we will feel the heat. This process of positioning ourselves in other's place or position is called as In Other's shoes. Before, thinking about entering into other's shoes, we need to understand one important thing. We need to remove our shoes and then we need to move into other's shoes. Without removing our shoes, we enter into other's shoes, it will be very tight.
Similarly, when we think about being in some other person's position, we need to come out of our own position. Then only, we will know the pain. This is practically not possible until and unless we do some kind of swapping and moving from one soul to another. The important thing that I learnt about not moving to other's position is we have our own position and chance for living, if we concentrate on that alone, it is more than enough.
