It doesn't take a great linguist to sense the feelings behind words.
We are all wired differently and have different abilities. Some of us understand better with our ears than our eyes. Some are very literal and do not catch nuances and subtle changes in others. Some are entertained by a play on words that aggravates another. Some people are witty and that is lost on other people who are very literal, but they are both smart and logical. It is not so much what we say but how it is heard and received by another.
And some people, no matter how smart they are cannot forgive, or compromise or bend or wait or try to see the views of other people. We have got to try harder not to push buttons. All of us.
I am guilty.

From
MY PERSONAL perspective, I don't completely agree.
My belief in TRUTH and MORALS should not hurt anyone, but I have been accused of being a lot of things
just because I stand for them, which always leaves me with a better understanding of those who endorse the opposite.
Abilities, I never discuss as I don't know anyone in here.
ALL I have are words people type, assuming that comes from their heart, and reflects their ethics and morals
