I have noticed lot of us end up reading between lines which is the basis of all the confusion and problem we have in our social circle.
For e.g.
If I say, I like Hitler, it ends up propagating as I hate Jews.
If I say, I believe in arrange marriages, it ends up as I am against love marriages.
If I say, I do not have to drink every time I party, it doesn’t mean that I am against drinking or partying or I am not against who do that always.
Why can’t we keep it simple instead of adding complications. I mean Hitler had many qualities, and not all of them were bad. I admire his devotion and respect towards his home country, Germany (that’s what I read it from books). But it doesn’t mean that I admire his atrocities towards Jews. In the same way, there are so many incidences that occur in our day to day life. But people around us end up reading between lines and make some incorrect conclusion and spread it across.
It becomes extremely difficult to deal with these scenarios. At times, people can even understand or hear words that you did not event speak. It becomes extremely important to properly read the audience around you before you even start to speak.
