Can we truly know someone?

Today in class we were presented with the example of a wife and a husband knowing each other. Can they ever know each other completely? Will they ever get each other completely? At first my answer was yes. Then I started to really think about it. I don’t believe that it is possible to know your wife or husband completely or anyone for that matter, not even your best friend. The reason I say this is because there is a quote I know that I believe to be very true. “The only constant in life is change.” How do I apply this to my life? Quite simply, you could ask anyone that has said to truly know me if they ever thought I would consider being a military man and they would say no without hesitation. However, things do change and about a month ago I started thinking about transferring to west point and becoming a marine. When I told my parents and friends their reaction was the same mouth wide open and silence spread across the room. This is a perfect example that things always change and it is impossible to truly know someone because as time goes by people change and they gain interest in different things.
