Story Sides

In most situations, I can see both sides of an argument. If person A is mad at person B, and I'm listening to person A gripe and complain about it, and then I hear person B's side of it, I can look at the info I've got and I can see that in a way, they're both right. This is the case in most situations, unless it directly affects me, then of course I'm right and everyone else is wrong (and in all fairness, who isn't like that?) I've learned a lot in fifteen years, and one thing I've seen proven and repeated over and over, is people in general (and I'll admit, myself included) are not great at communicating. It could be thinking something over and over in your head and not telling anyone, or not listening when someone is telling you why they're unhappy or just keeping all your feelings and emotions bottled up inside until you just can't hold it in anymore and it all comes exploding out. It could also be on a project where information is just unclearly passed on so other people don't do what you think they said they'd do. I've seen all of these examples played out over and over in my life, and sometimes it's enough to make me scream. It leads to heatache, anger, tears and frustration and what does it fix? Nothing!! Poor communication is just a collosal waste of time and it doesn't fix anything. The world would be a lot easier if people shared what they were feeling, their thoughts and opinions, and let the little stuff go. If you're not happy about something, fix it! Find a way to work around it don't dwell over it, or be mad at people for unneccesarilly long over it. People can only teach what they know. If someone grows up not properly understanding how to share they will teach that to their children and the cycle can only go down from there. All I'm saying, is to make it easier on everyone and to make the world run a little smoother if only in this one small way, everyone should try and share how they're feeling. Communicate rather than isolate. That is, in my mind anyway, a worthwhile message.
