Can just say it? Can I get it off my chest?
I want to start by saying all this is being said by an individual who at present is having a lot of doubt and insecurity.
I went into this book (My Velvet Elvis) with great doubt in my spiritual walk. I now have a greater faith in the existance of God. I believe he has a role for me. The one thing I did not doubt was faith itself. There are many kinds of faith. But one in particular that has been shot for me is faith in people and what they say. This book may not so mush as caused that but perhaps made me see the logic of doubt in faith. Doubt is not a bad thing. It brings on questions and questions lead to truth and truth only leads to more questions. So questions are good if you believe truth is.
Allow me to share my reasoning behind my doubt in people and what they say. Anyone who says something has a reason behind what and how they said it. If they did not there would be absolute no reason to say anything at all and so nothing would be said. The trick behind communication is understanding the reason and knowing how to process the information given. If for instance someone thought an idea was ludicrous they would relay that information not objectively but with a slight bias. They then would have an agenda behind what they say. There point for telling someone this information would be because they thought it to be absurd, maybe confusing, or that the person would find it interesting. The next person to hear it would hear it with that biased spin and then either take up that same opinion or ignore it and in rare occasions take up a new opinion of their own. Because of the fact that there is no possible way to say something truly objectively and only the ability to hear something objectively.
I find I have a good ability to understand peoples reasons behind what they say I actually find it rather easy. There are some people however who do not. In not understand they fall easily to miscommunication. Of course in thinking you always understand you also fall ea silly to miscommunication. However I am presently annoyed at the fact that someone in a place of leadership has failed to understand. There is knowledge that someone knows and past experiences that cause them to react in a certain way. The person in leadership does not know of their past and all .... Bllla it frustrates me.
