I have been misunderstood perhaps more than anyone else ever, but it has not affected me, for the simple reason that there is no desire to be understood. It is their problem if they don't understand, it is not my problem. If they misunderstand, it is their problem and their misery. I am not going to waste my sleep because millions of people are misunderstanding me.

Hardest words, not?

A lot of people have a hard time just saying the word "sorry" even if it's obviously their fault. Now, imagine if it wasn't your fault, would you be able to say "sorry"? Would you apologize for something even if it meant swallowing your pride? Or would you let err... "nature" run its course?

People who do apologize say that they do so because they just want the "fight" to be over and done with. Not apologizing would drag the fight longer. As for me, I would not hesitate in apologising even if it was not my fault, if it meant that i could end an argument, fight or even get rid of some element of doubt or mistrust. If that relationship mean a lot to me, I will never let it go. In that case I don't mind saying sorry.

Words that can kill

How often that there are certain thoughts that you would like to bring across, yet unable to do so due to certain circumstances? How often you hold back saying out your thoughts for the fear of affecting the other party? How often thoughts are being hold back from being saying out loud?How often thoughts are being kept inside because of the lacking of the appropriate words to use?

I had been in those situations too many times... Too many times, I hold back a lot of stuff that I wanted to share... For the fear of affecting others... Especially the fear of hurting them with my words...
