Although not sure how the dictionary defines this, to me it means to see the world as others see it. Each of us is different (we are all quirky in some way!), but some people make the effort to see the world from the perspective of others, whilst some cannot.
In my friends, those who make good, empathetic listeners stand out a mile: some really try to see the world as others see it, whilst some don't even try. I am not sure if this is innate or something one can work on.
It is difficult not to judge others by our standards. We are all unique. In some cases, people have been dealt a poor hand. We can all start by treating everyone the same. As someone once reminded me, even the queen has to go to the toilet!
Whether rich or poor, we are all the same inside.
