Its an old saying. A human on average walks about 3 miles an hour. So, essentially its saying live my life for 20 minutes. What am I going to learn in that time?

You will probably only catch a small glimpse of what their life is like.

I'd be really curious to get an hour of being in The angels have the phone box's mind. I feel very curious about him (her? - recent change of avatar has made me question my assumptions although the youtube piece seemed to be the same person as the previous avatar....). I love his quirky turn of mind, his sharp intelligence, his quick understanding. The person I think I could handle walking in mine and seeing how I function is paperback_writer. I think we share enough that it wouldn't be a shock to her! Really great question!! EDIT: The angels h.t.p.b., I am not taking lightly your comments about the constant pain you're in. I think that makes me even more curious to understand the inner workings of your mind and I can take an hour of it if you can take a lifetime - gladly. I'm sure you'd like an hour off......

There is no telling what you would find by walking a mile in my shoes. It depends on when you walk the mile. For starters, there's a good chance I wouldn't even be wearing shoes.

If you are going to walk a mile in a womans shoes you are going to learn that women buy shoes for the look of them and not the comfort!
Watch out for the blisters!

You are going to learn it takes a longer journey than 1 mile to get to know someone.

Keep an extra pair of socks in your pocket just in case you step into a puddle & get your feet wet. You'll learn what you are supposed to learn when it happens & you'll realize it when you least expect it to!

If my memory serves me correctly, it's an old Indian saying:
You will be empathetic and learn not to be so judgmental toward others.

You might learn a whole more than you think! - that is IF you watch, listen, and hear with an open mind.

Probably nothing if you haven't learned the intent of the saying.

"...before you abuse, criticize & accuse, walk a mile in my shoes.- Joe South '69)." Still, so applicable to today & tomorrow.
