Different point of views or, the breakdown of communication
Found it John's blog, and it originates from Scary Ideas.
Misunderstanding each other, not getting one another's point of view, pushing your own point, forgetting to reconfirm your understanding... Many times a break down in communication is the reason why things go wrong.
And don't forget - you always talk from your own map of the world. But please remember, there are as many maps as there are people in the world - because we are all different, think differently, perceive differently, process differently, operate differently, express differently, feel differently, smell differently, hear differently, taste differently and so on. All I can do is to really try really hard to get your point of view.
Got it?

Isn't that always the case? We live life from our own point of views. And that's the cause of all quarrels.
