Ears before Tongue

Problems, problems everywhere. No one can deny the endless troubles around us, brawls are done like a person saying "Good Morning", conflicts occur like having a breakfast in the morning. Shame these things exist in our world, but you know what's more shameful?

Misunderstandings, one word, but holds lots and lots of meanings behind. Defining the word, it's when someone takes a sentence or action from a person in a way that opposes the truth or the intentions of the person. It might seem ordinary, but this is a true disaster.

---

Then why a disaster? Very simple, because from the bad luck, a person who might appeal to do a good thing, might get attacked and bullied because, it just didn't appeal to the person encountering the action, like it is a crime that people (again saying this) are different from each other. What's worse is the absence of will to hear the agony of the person who tries to convince he/she never meant harm, but the ego wins, unfortunately.

Isn't it harsh on a kind person to be stomped on this way? It was okay for a person to keep fighting to prove his intentions are free of evil, but in this world, nothing but disappointments will persists, plus the continuous fear of losing more dear friends will keep showing up. Now what? Hopeless?

No, not really, the best technique to avoid more conflicts on literally nothing, is the one technique I saw it a hindrance in my life in the past, the shallow talking. I've been known for my lack of creativity in opening any topic with most people, but today, I found out I'm really lucky. If more words might get me suspected in misunderstandings, then why not limiting the words and widening our ears to people when talking? It's painful, but way helpful, when we only listen and accept whatever we are hearing, and giving shallow responses with passion, like I agree, laughing, or anything as long as it doesn't push that person away.

---

The only cases a person can act from him/herself, there are two options, either an appreciating word which can make a difference even with a rough hearted person, or just adding up pieces of info, because unfortunately talking about personal topics, even it can bring lots of joy and moments, mainly the topics about personal things within limits, might seem offensive or humiliating to a person, like you may find people getting mad over someone saying your haircut is weird (teasing), like what? Sadly complications never end.

As an alternative, it might surely work when you limit your words and open your ears. A listener is more happy than a talker.
