"We are responsible for what we say but we are not responsible for what people understand," ever heard a statement like that?

The truth is, people will surely misunderstand our words and even our actions or intention, but what matter the most is that, whatever we are doing, we are doing with a clean heart.

I believe in doing right by our conscience and leaving the things we have little or no control over. Well, some people might want to take it as a point of duty to always explain their actions and motive, but how many can you explain, and can you really explain to everyone? Will they all believe? You see why I do not try to get a grip on what I have no control over?

Nina Simone - Misunderstood

This is a very classic music I heard just a few days back and I enjoyed it, it is very relatable and i felt it from a different angle. The music itself speaks volume how much the singer yearned empathy and to be understood. it more like a country tune and the lyrics aligns with what my theme is; which is being misunderstood.

Misunderstanding can make us drift apart from people we love and it often spring up from assumption, it is a good thing to ask question and hear people out. It is very wrong to write people off without hearing why they did what they did.

Ask questions for clarity sake, give people a benefit of doubt before jumping into conclusion when we see other people take action.

Have you ever been misuderstood before? Do you remember how bad it made you feel? Have you also on the other hand jumped into conclusion based on your assumptions only to find out that you were wrong all along? Do you still remember how guilty you felt for doing so and the strain it put in your relationship either with a friend or someone you love?

Some people call it emotional intelligence to discern what people are up to without asking, but sometimes you might be wrong, please communicate first, and ask questions.

It is wrong too to be very judgmental, it is not in our place to question the motive behind people's action, and I also think good communication help in this regard.

When people judge us, we want to take solace in believing that we know who we are even though we are being misunderstood, and that shouldn't stop us from doing the right thing and carrying out actions with a good motive.

Music Is truly powerful, I don't think there's a theme you really wanna talk about, that you won't find in a song.

I often wonder what the world will always be like without a good music, well, thankfully we have good tune to keep up with the good and not-so good days.

This song I shared is very beautiful tune, it's calm to listen to, the voice is so soothing and the lyrics makes it a timeless piece and I am sure you enjoyed listening.

I hope you have a blessed weekend and make good use of it, because before you know it, the weekend will be almost over.
