No . I just believe in the maxim that you can't really understand another person's experience until you've walked a mile in their shoes. I'm not sure we think enough about how others might see things.
Actually, in a previous life, part of my job was to understand the Russian military and civilian psyche and behaviours, with a focus on how the Stalinist era and the WW2 shaped that (and I have kept that up as a civvy) - if we didn't try to understand how and why they would potentially do stuff, our analysis would be faulty/skewed.
