You would meet them with an overwhelming sense of compassion, humility, and gentleness. Each encounter would be less about who they appear to be now and more about honoring the entire story that made them this way.Knowing each event that shaped them would remind you how complex and fragile human lives are, how each of us carries a lifetime's worth of emotions, traumas, triumphs, and quiet decisions. You would see that even choices that may seem flawed or puzzling have roots in experiences, circumstances, and beliefs as real and vivid as your own.You would treat them with patience because you'd understand that what they feel today isn't just a reaction to now, but to a lifetime. If you could hear every word that ever shaped them, you would become deeply aware of the power of words and choose your own with care, aiming to add meaning, warmth, and hope to their story.Knowing their potential futures, their final breath—this might bring a sense of reverence. You might see each moment as rare and fleeting, each interaction as part of their journey and your own.
