its never exactly what it should be

People can quickly become rude when they assume that the people they are speaking to can read between the lines of conversation. The problem is that only the speaker knows what emotions and information has brought them to that conversation.

I recently asked a person in our neighborhood if he knew whose truck was parked in the traffic path. He immediately turned like a mad person on me and chided me for inturrupting his day. It wasn't that I asked something of him physically, but he was having a hard time from others and he angrily took it out on me.

There are many days like this with people that I come into contact with. I am also not alone. Perhaps we should consider this and think about what we are going to say before someone else is a victim of verbal abuse from us.
