The thing about the what we say is that there is more behind them than words. There’s inflection and emphasis, too. That explains why it can be so hard for people to communicate with each other. Most of our arguments, whether it’s between members of a family or members of nations, is because we simply disagree on what’s in front of us.
A case in point is what happened to me back in the spring at the local toy store when I was verbally accosted by a six-year-old boy. I still say I was right. If I could find him again (and if he still remembers), I’m sure he would still say he was right, too. Such is life, I suppose. We’re always arguing and never really making things better.
