Reflection: “Do away with the opinion I am harmed, and the harm is cast away too. Do away with being harmed, and harm disappears”.
–Meditations 4.7
Words can have multiple meanings. One usage can be harsh and another completely innocent. The same word can be a cruel slur or a plie of sticks. In the same way something said sarcastically differs from something that was pointed and mean. The interpretation of a remark has an immense amount of power. It’s the difference between a laugh and hurt feelings.
This is why it’s so important to control the biases and lenses we bring to our interactions. When you hear of see something, which interpretation do you jump to? Do you have a default interpretation with certain people?
If being upset or hurt is something you’d like to experience less often, then make sure your interpretations of others’ words make that possible. Choose the right inference from other’s actions, and you are more likely to have a better response.
