I am Responsible for what i say. I am not responsible for what you understand.

Being able to communicate clearly and articulately is much more than an art, it's sometimes a way of Life for some. 

But between what one says & what one understands, is a chasm that needs to be crossed. 

You often hear people say, Are we ask on the same page!! That is know for sure that,  what one says & what the recipient understands are the same. 

Very often, the way things are said ruin relationships, can be the cause for a great deal of mental pain and agony. Always, Stop, Think and then Speak. The trouble with words is that once we say it, the damage is done, and then we try to take it back, apologise, but we have burned our bridge in the process. 

So always be sure that what you say, is what you mean, and what they understand. Countries have gone to war over words not clearly understood by each other. 

The words you utter are very precious pearls, give them away very carefully only to the people that really need it.  Be Responsible for the words, that you say, & say it responsibly w/o doubt.
