To really get to know someone,
You have to see his/her soul
To see the soul, you have to get through the mind
Read his/her thoughts
Then hear the heart
Listen to what it says
Know its dreams, hopes, and even fears,
What makes it happy and sad
Then the souls are no longer an acquaintance
K.Lazaro 
That’s is a lot of work to do and even if one manages it I don’t think that the mind and inner thoughts of someone else can be totally known. Most people are too complicated for that.

Was thinking it mostly applies to a spouse, or looking at your child. And yes it can be hard too since sometimes we can not be totally transparent even to the closest person in our lives.

You are right. It is sad we show our true self to so few. Few people will open up and allow you in.
