Understanding

Understanding is the act of comprehending. It is also the ability to be aware, or “tuned in” to other people’s feelings and needs. This inspires compassion, love, acceptance, and tolerance. Understanding is a useful, key tool to strengthening relationships, whether it is between two people, or two countries. Understanding enables us to open our eyes and notice each other, while also keeping an open mind and comprehension of our differences. Instead of letting these differences separate us, they draw us closer together. Bu Bear uses his gift of understanding to see inside himself and strive to be better while also accepting others and helping them to be on their “right path.” To understand is to know and learn, and Bu Bear spends his life improving not only himself, but the world around him, too.
