Miscommunication

It's unbelievable how one tiny detail changes the Big Picture.
A different sound, a different letter... changes the meaning.
A different word - oh lord - can have dire consequences.

Miscommunication.

As a communications major, I believe I understand the tremendous importance of effective communication, seen as anything we do probably needs to go through other 'brinks' in this chain, and all the elements need to be on the same page.

(Gosh my grandpa's here blasting the radio in the room next door cause he can't hear too well = me frustrated for no particular reason... it always happens when I'm trying to focus on something... somebody walks in and the Great Distraction begins... end of ranty aside)

The same page.
The same paragraph.
The same line.
The same word.
The same letter.

See, it can always be broken down to the smallest particles, like protons and electrons and various laws of attraction. Attraction is the force that keeps us together.

Pull yourself together!

Not an easy task. You need another body to 'pull yourself together' because your own gravitational field is not strong enough to pull your particles together, at least mentally.

Mental health is as important as physical health, and strongly linked to it too.

My mom and dad and I had an argument a couple of nights back. Why? My dad and I are freaks, we have the type of sense of humor that makes a joke out of pretty much anything. We were fully employing that sense of humor on mom. Until she felt genuinely hurt... She wasn't talking to us for a while. She was angry. Why?

MIS communication... understanding... take... use... any of these really....

and this is where i draw the line
