People can say one thing while meaning something different, or conversely, say something quite clearly and we hear something different. All of that has to do with words, meanings, inflections, attempts to bridge from my reality into yours without confusion happening. Problem is, confusion does happen, far more often than we would like. Then there are those times that people do not mis-communicate or mis-read or misunderstand, they just have to talk, and speaking truth is hardly part of their agenda. Yes, it hurts, but it is just part of the human experience. Everyone gets their share, unless of course you do nothing, say nothing, have no human relationships, stay out of business and avoid the dog crowd. Oh yes, and stay away from church! I know! Anywhere there are people in groups there will be politics, gossip, misquotes, miscues, misunderstandings and down right lies. Best policy is to work backwards, person to person, straighten it all out, forgive, forget, love one another and don't tell where you buried the body. Then call Evan....
