When some belongs to a certain worldview, its hard to understand, why would someone else decide on an alternative.

"Sonder" is a word popularized by the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, and describes the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as our own with their ambitions, worries, routines, relationships, and backstories. Its an emotional insight about the depth and richness of other peoples inner lives.

Maybe having more empathy helps someone sonder more easily?

Definitely! Maybe the first step is the realization, that other people are not like you. Then with empathy towards others you can analyse and see their context.

Agree. What would be your thoughts on this?
