How good are you at seeing things from someone else's perspective?

Everyone chooses sides on controversial issues. Everyone has their own belief system.

Can you understand why the other person believes different from you? Or are they wrong and you’re right, because you know more than they do about it?

Examples: “Yeah I can see why you think God doesn’t exist.”
“So you think all women shouldn’t have the right to choose? That makes sense to me.”

Are you able to do this, or can you just not understand how someone can think the way they do?
