A Little Side Rant

<h4> Hi, I thought I was all done for the night. My dogs were getting ready for their walks and everything. I turned to Facebook before shutting down for a bit and I saw somebody had posted a picture that said “I’m only responsible for what I say not for what you understand” and it occurred to me that this was the antithesis of communication. Oh I can understand the theory, we can’t force someone to hear things in the way that we say them. If the goal was only to express ourselves than I can even agree with it to some extent. However, if we have the goal to communicate something that we think or feel to someone else than I find this statement to be something of a fail. If I see that you misunderstand something I say than it seems to me that I need to find another way of saying it. What do you think? Namaste –GAR </h4>
