What you say Vs how others perceive it…
We all know that there is none so naive that may be tricked! Yet we demonstrate our naivety by saying things that we do not mean in the childish hope that it is perceived as it was said….
And I address this to all those whose intentions and words don’t share the same ground….
“Intention” may be defined as the motive that provides the emotional power behind our words or actions… and it includes the object, i.e., to whom it was dedicated…
Two words may on the surface appear to be the same. But unless the actor delivering the words were to be exceptionally good, the intention in each case does reach the other person’s perception…
Trust is built when the words one uses or the actions one performs accurately represent ones intentions and it is received as such by the object.
And when there are seemingly inaccurate perceptions:
– is it the actor’s responsibility to correct them in the interest of remaining trust worthy that an otherwise strong relationship be preserved…
– OR is it the responsibility of the object that is inaccurate in his/her perceptions to give the benefit of doubt and to the actor and continue trusting…
My take is that the onus is on the actor as opposed to the subject that is obviously the victim or is confused… And is suffering regardless!
