Perception

An interesting thing occurred to me recently. A well-intentioned wish from you can be interpreted or misinterpreted based on who you speak it to. For example, saying (in a neutral tone), “I hope you receive the same treatment you give to others”, will be appreciated by some, while others will feel insulted.
Why does that happen?
Interpretation. Everyone has a voice in their head, and that voice colours what is said to them. Our stories tint our view of the world.
I recently saw a quote that said, “Heal so you can hear what is being said without the filter of your wounds” (Dr. Thelma Bryant).
I wish you the strength to heal, my friends, so that you may be able to perceive the world with a clear lens and have a healthier relationship with yourself and others.
