Is it necessary to have good understanding?

It says that the understanding power of humans is better than that of any other creatures because they have the power to understand many things, even if it’s untold. Maybe just with a look at a facial expression, they can understand the situation. But I am quite confident that many people doubt the understanding power of humans. I think the reason is also valid because if humans were so understanding of others, there would be no conflict or chaos in the world. So, what’s the problem actually? I guess most humans just don’t want to understand others, and that’s the real reason.

Everyone wants others to understand them. But I think very few try to do so. Sometimes people unintentionally don't understand others, while most of the time people don't try to understand others intentionally for their own benefit. Again, some people actually understand everything, but they pretend not to understand to avoid various kinds of trouble. But still, most of the people try to be understood by others. Why?

I think that it’s natural to desire humans to be understood by others. If someone can understand me, it can make my life easier. Suppose at the present time I am thinking about something for my future career, and I know that it can maximize the chance of being successful in life, and I just need some time to manage everything. I think that earning online is quite good. After I manage to get a decent income online, I can think about an offline job. My online earnings will be kept secure and will be used as an investment, while my offline job can help me to run my family well. I may need 1 more year or less for it, but my parents don’t understand what I am doing and what I am trying to do. They think I am wasting my time online😅. I think it’s the same case for other people in society also. They think I am not getting a job even after finishing my post-graduation from a top university. Some also choose to criticize me sometimes, and I let it go.

I didn’t search for a job for the last year; how can I get a job? Still, I can earn the same amount or more than a job holder just by doing tuition. So, I can earn money offline without relying on online earnings. I just started to search for a job recently, as it will take time to find a suitable job, and till that time my online earnings will be in a good state. I think I would not be criticized by a few people, and I might not feel the pressure from my parents to find a job. Even if those things can’t disturb me too much, I think it would be better for me and my parents if they understood me and my plan as well. I could be carefree, and they could stop worrying about my future. I just drew a simple example of why I want my parents to understand me, at least. But when it comes to others, I don’t want them to understand me because I simply don’t care about them, and I don’t waste my time thinking about what they think.

But when it comes to understanding others, I am quite good at it, and I have good knowledge about human psychology, which helps me a lot. I actually read and learned more about human psychology because of my interest, but it actually helps me in my real life. I always try to put myself in their position and try to figure out what’s going on in their mind, and most of the time I can understand their thoughts, and that’s how I can connect with people. But to be honest, many times I pretend not to understand because sometimes it can bring loss for me; otherwise, it can bring negative consequences for them. The situation can vary, but in my case, I don’t think anyone needs to understand me except my family members, and I don’t explain things to others if anyone misunderstands.
