It is like that old game of telephone where you whisper something into someone's ear and by the time the last person hears it, the message has been fully changed to something entirely different. It's funny when you are playing a game but not in a conversation where feelings could be hurt and explanations can be misconstrued by those you love and care about.
Today's quote is, "Misunderstanding is confusion and chaos - understanding is the light of illumination - the clarity gained." How many times have you had an argument with someone only to have it end with, "but I thought you said..." "but I thought you meant...." When we speak to each other we must do so not only with kindness but with utter clarity.
Simple misunderstandings can lead to confusion, chaos, bitter feelings, broken hearts and lost relationships. Although that list seems long, I stand by it. That overwhelming feeling of enlightenment when understanding comes into play is glorious! "Oh, THAT'S what you meant!"
If we are clear the first time around we can avoid causing upset and pain. If you need to speak with someone about something delicate you need to have your thoughts in order so that you are absolutely clear and there is not a chance for misunderstanding. If you see someone walking away scratching their head that is a pretty good indication that clarity was not received!
Believe it or not, speaking clearly is an art that not many people have mastered. Next time you need to have a deep conversation with someone important to you, gather your thoughts and even rehearse your words. Confusion and chaos is hard to clean up but when the light of clarity shines on you there is nothing like it!
