No, I didn't change my blog to 'Abult Content' because i plan on posting anything blatantly pornographic, nor do intend to curse.. at least too often. Actually swearing never really looks right to me in print. it kinda loses its effectiveness if it isn't used on a verbal level.
But really, we should all be adults here. (whatever that means these days)
Irritations can exist everywhere in your life. I'm almost prone to believe that they sprout up just to keep you in line, keep you humble and remind you of your humanness.
Social situations are a common source. We engage in many activities on a daily basis with people. Everywhere. With such a large amount of personality on the run and rise you are bound to stumble across unexpected conflict and misunderstandings. You can never assume that your best intentions are always on the forefront because with so many custom crafted personalities and built in sensitivity triggers, you never know where the line exists.
I know people with zero filter. They say whatever comes to their mind with no considerations for the offensive aspects that may be attached to their words. In the past, I too have been told that I don't consider the consequences of my words. Although I try to gently push the envelope with my words and thoughts, occasionally someone may be offended with what I have to say.
Although I believe I've curbed my tactless sharp tongued responses over the years and given more thought before speak with practice, if one offends throughout a conversation and the offended remain silent, isn't it the offended's responsibility (if this takes place within a relationship with history and integrity) to express and confront this on point?
Is it just a silly conceptual fantasy that people will communicate and confront in real time, or does a misunderstanding or miscomunication always ultimately lead to bottled up issues and anger?
I guess it depends on the healthiness of the relationship. In my idealistic world, people communicate and address issues sooner than later.
End the silence and speak up.
