If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why?

There are far too many options, too many people from all walks of life, that I could pick from for this prompt. If I only had one day, I would want to be able to live and see the world through the eyes of someone who I don’t understand. Why? To gain perspective so that I might better understand the world we live in.

I have a much better understanding of the lives of the “99%” in this country. I can’t truly empathize with anyone who has lived with racial prejudice, but there are still certain things I can see where I can pick out the cause and effect. So with that in mind, if I really had the chance to be someone else for a day I would pick someone from the “1%” so that I might better understand what makes them tick. So that I can, after the day is up, take that knowledge and pass it along. Are we, the vast majority of everyone else, anything in the eyes of someone like that? Probably not, but I’d like confirmation. If I could figure out that, then I could probably figure out how to fix things for the better and turn those billionaires into a true force for good instead of greed.

Is this lofty and empty purely for the fact that it can’t really happen? Absolutely, but that doesn’t change the need for rich people to properly respect those that have been used and abused to build their industries and empires.
