Communication
People desperately trying to connect.
Trying to escape isolation,
The erroneous projection of others.
Striving to be seen as one sees oneself–
To be understood as one understands oneself.
Most times, however, one is confused about one’s own being—
Not knowing why,
One hates
Or loves
Or tries to hurt another.
Often regretting one’s own words and actions
In real time.
Wondering how such words or actions could come from one’s own person.
To be projected towards someone so undeserving of mistreatment.
So…
How to be understood by others
When one fails to understand oneself?
Conundrum.
