“I wonder how many people I’ve looked at all my life and never seen”

Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes, we pass by people every day, like our neighbors, classmates, or colleagues, but we don't really know them or pay attention to them. It's like just seeing their faces without understanding who they are inside or what they are going through. Imagine sitting in a classroom with someone for a whole year, but you never really talk to them or learn about their hobbies, dreams, or problems. This happens a lot in life because we get busy and don't take time to truly notice others around us. For example, you might see the same bus driver every morning, but you don’t know anything about his life. Maybe he has a passion for painting or he’s facing difficulties at home, but you never ask. To really see people, try being more curious and open. Ask questions, listen to their stories, and show genuine interest. By doing this, you can build deeper connections and become more understanding and compassionate towards others.
