Misunderstood...

"You're getting me wrong", "Try and understand", "I din't mean that"... haven't we all faced a situation where such words just make no difference to the person they're addressed to...? Haven't you wished that for once that person would try and listen to your side of the story? And most of all, even if they listen, that they'd also understand your point and for once, agree?

Perception... the major criminal in most misunderstandings... its funny the way things are perceived so very differently by two different people... how harmless and light-hearted comments become the blades that cut friendships in half!

Humour... the one thing that is perceived wrongly most of the times... you see, some people just can't smile, let alone laugh... come on guys, no taxes for a smile... spread a cheer!

As with most times, I don't write without a reason... and this time too, its because I've been misunderstood, yet again... I mean, why does it happen? Especially when its something that is perceived wrongly... something that is simply going haywire for no solid reason... and as always, its not open to any ammendments made by me... its frustrating!

Love and friendship, both alike are prone to misunderstandings, but the strength of a relationship lies in the power of those involved to sort out the misunderstanding without leaving any permanent scars on the relation itself... and thats where the frustration lies, to realise that you faultered in judging the strength of the counter-part's feelings about you!

Misunderstanding is itself so misunderstood that people dont understand how a small misunderstanding can ruin a good relation and infact at times even reverse it completely! Its only when the misunderstanding is understood that one realises the true extent of the damage caused by it... and with many cases, it is infact too late for any ammendments...

So my message to all my readers is such that as far as possible, avoid misunderstandings and clear them out in the best possible way... because believe me, its always better to lose your ego than to lose a friend in life... every friend is a gift, preserve it...

A Soldier's Prayer..

"Love is Eternal, Life is not,
To serve my country this life is short..

Hundreds I've killed in the battles I've fought,
I've pinched my soul with each bullet I shot..

Forgive me My Lord, for if You forgot,
A WARRIOR I am, A KILLER I'm not..
