What you see

With time comes understanding.

Written words can make clear the situation or further the biases. The pen truly is mightier than the sword. The hard part comes when trying to narrow the chances of misinterpretation or to make the meaning absolute.

Misunderstandings, and hurt feelings, arise when words cloud the intent. So often people toss words into the air to fill a void. Sometimes the words come back down with the force of hail in a sudden summer storm. The clueless continue with their ignorant prattle as if shrouded in a fog, not realizing they have run over innocent bystanders. Once the miscreants get their heads out of the clouds, it is too late, the corpses line the streets.

Wield the power of words with great care. Hold a mirror up occasionally. You might be surprised by what you see in the reflection.

Later, dude.
