Words are important. What people say matters. I need to remember that. Most of the time I am just talking shit, but I know I can say things that are received in a different way than I meant them to be. Comes down to communication. Most people think communication is simple. I say something you hear it and understand and respond back to me. The secret is that meaning comes from both ends. I used to get in arguments with an old girlfriend, and I would tell her that she wasn’t listening to me. When I said that I was meaning that she wasn’t hearing what I was saying (listen meaning 1), but what she received what that she wasn’t obeying me (listen meaning 2). If I would have realized the miscommunication at the time it would have saved a lot of time and trouble.
