Being Misunderstood is a thing to avoid

I really despise being misunderstood. Since I am both a freelance artist, and writer, communicating my thoughts and visions are of great significance to me. That being the case, one can see why I take very serious the importance of not being misunderstood. I believe that misunderstanding is at the root of so much conflict in our world. Take for instance, the misunderstanding about the "non-existent" weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. That entire last war there appears to have been based on a misunderstanding, though some suggests, {and rightly so}, an intentional misunderstanding, or at the very least a less than sincere misunderstanding. If more of us gave the highest of priority to being clear in our meaning, then less misunderstanding would occur, and as a result there would be less conflict. Unfortunately, there are those who seem to take it upon themselves to make sure that misunderstandings continue, for they have a vested interest in maintaining a status of ongoing conflict, and war. What better way to insure such conflict, then to just make sure we are befuddled to the point of constantly misunderstanding a variety of things, at all times?

Whatever we are and whatever we are doing, we don't have to please everybody. The most important thing is that we are not harming anyone and we are doing what we love.
