Life Observation

Ah, yes, it's been a bit of a hellish few days. So I'm making a mental note to not talk so much through chatting or anything that is non verbal and not face to face. Why? It's because it gets sucky when shit happens.

For example:

Situation 1
Person A makes a point to person B, say a casual observation. Person B misinterprets said point and got offended and person A is left with a suitcase of guilt.

Situation 2
A makes a point, B did not read things properly, and the end result is the same as situation 1.

Situation 3
A tries to make a point, but it didn't get through, and once again...misinterpretation.

So the conclusion can be drawn; any conversation that is not verbal or done face to face is terribly risky. Perhaps sometimes silence is golden. It's weird, because I always thought that I present my meanings and ideas clearly to people I talk to. Heck, I always try to be careful whenever I talk in order to avoid misunderstandings and confrontations, but in the end, this still happened.

I guess even with people close to you (i.e : family, friends, buddies etc.), no matter how much they understand you, humans are sensitive to the wrong things and unobservant of the others. Sometimes, I feel that this is disappointing. Because they know you so well, they should have understood. Because they understand you so well, they should never have misunderstood your words.

Does that make any sense? Heh, I think everyone else would feel that this is in fact a small matter of no importance. But it makes one point clear. The closer someone is to your heart, the more you opened yourself to that person, the more it hurts. Then why do humans open their hearts to another, knowing the risk of being hurt? Is this a never ending cycle after all, a life cycle of hurting and be hurt? If that is the case, I think I'd rather be the one hurting instead of getting hurt.

Does any of that makes any sense?
