Intention and Interpretation.

By -
This should've been the one thing i should've written about first. it's always on my mind. let me know your views in the comment section. 
do you ever mean for something in a positive way and it comes out all wrong or they get it all wrong? maybe something you say or something you do maybe because of the way you said or did it or their history 
thats the difference between intention and interpretation. what you meant and how it got out. so can we control both?
 
Let's go back to the Basics.

    No I dont think you have control over either. How someone perceives us is almost never about ourselves but just how they think of us. Explains why some people could hate you so much while others view you as one of the most precious people

      But thats the illusion, we have convinced ourselves that we do not have control over this and so many more aspects of our lives. Hate cannot be a self internalized illusion, it stems somewhere, something you did (even sometimes with honest good intent) could have been misinterpreted, and I'm sorry but you need to realize your lack of intent communication led to that. People love because you show them loveable parts of you, they hate because you show them parts of you that they hate.

    I feel that we all have experienced this and thus we can assume that some people have experienced it with us judging their intention. And with this maybe we can ask questions on people's intent or where they were getting to with it before filling ourselves with answers that would be prejudiced.

      Exactly, its important for us to not underestimate the expression of intent, thank you:)

Abused by love.

The question usually is why I called my blog Basics. The answer is rather simple, the things I talk about are things we already know about, they're basic. All I do is provide a little retrospect and sometimes different perspective. I discovered that we know so much, but knowing only implies understanding, it does not mean it. What I'm going to be writing about below are things you know, and I'm sorry about the monotony but as you read this, it's of import that you pay attention; that you understand. So recently, one of the most urban and gorgeous person I know was abused, and talking to her I kept realizing that it's not that she didn't know, it's not naivety that gets people abused. It really isn't. As children of God, I find that humans, like their father, are very judgemental. And sitting in the seat of the judge means you feel pure, exempt from the happenings of those you judge. We convince ourselves that we would handle things better if ...

The Art of Gifting

I intended to write about this way early into last year because of how shit the gifts I received that year was, but life comes at you so fast I hadn’t gotten time to research and do the yadayada before writing an article such as this. But then I met someone that reignited that spark only this time it was different, the complete opposite. They gifted me with sequences that were the most thoughtful gifts ever, and I mean ever. But then it occurred to me that it was much more than the thoughtfulness of the gifts and thus we are here to explore gifting a little more. I am overflowing with emotion over those gifts as I write this; Before we delve into it, love languages are meant to be independent as well as integrated and as such, this article is not meant for gifters and lovers that only understand love in gifting rather this is an article for you if you intend to express a little more love into the world, to your loved ones, to your victims. You see dear reader, gifts aren...

Expectations

The most prevalent wrong advice I've heard is 'don't have expectations and you won't get hurt.' and while I would see where that comes from, I just go whotf. So I have two problems with this advice, one is "you won't get hurt?" And you people actually believe that,? How much longer are we going to deny the fact that like happiness, hurt and pain is what life is? I mean, don't you want character development? Ha. And two is "don't have expectations?" What? (You gotta say the "what" like @stacythiru does) So, you just get what you get and that's it? You don't get to yearn for more and better? That's bullshit if you ask me.  Basically, this is me telling you the thing about expectations. One, most expectations are natural. It's what's expected. Like you getting good grades, you might get told that you have to over and over, but you already know you have to. No one sits down and writes things they ...
