About misunderstandings

   One of the things that really bugs me is this problem with people who insist upon misunderstanding things.

   But that is just one of my pet peeves. That reminds me of the time when I was taking a driver safety course, and the instructor asked the class one-by-one, "What is your pet-peeve?". I hadn't thought of it before, so I had a problem answering that question. However, upon further reflection, I think it must be universal thing to have pet-peeves or one kind or another.

   Since I like to think of myself as someone who attempts to understand things, I often make the mistake of assuming everyone is that way. But that is not the case. It may be the exception.

   Which brings me to the point-of-view with respect to how Trump's opponents treat him.

   I don't support Trump out of some feeling that he is some sort of savior person. I don't belong to a "cult". But there are people who insist that anyone who supports Trump is part of some sort of "cult".

   I think these people are the ones who are at fault. You can disagree with a person and not hate them. Indeed, hating somebody just because they disagree with you, is in my opinion unjust. Anybody can be wrong. Trump can be wrong, but that doesn't make him a bad person. Just because he disagrees with you, or you with him, doesn't make him bad. Not by itself. It's what you do about that fact that is good or bad.

   That's what understanding things is about. You don't have to agree with a person, but you can try to understand their point-of-view. I think in doing so, you can remove a lot of the hostility from the situation.

   Besides, the other guy could be right!

   If you mistreat another person just because of a disagreement, what does that make you? I say it makes you an unjust person.

   Misunderstanding others and using it as a reason for killing them, or wishing them dead, is evil.

   That's why I have a big problem with Trump's critics. They have no respect for others. You don't have to agree, you can disagree, and still believe what you wish. After all, you're opponent could be right!

   It's tragic that there's so many people who are willing to do damage to others just because of a disagreement. But if that disagreement is serious enough, drastic measures may be necessary. Let's give examples, like gun-control. If somebody disagrees with you so drastically that they want to kill you, then having a weapon handy may be necessary. Therefore, gun-control takes your ability to defend yourself away from you. I note that some liberals like gun-control all of a sudden. If they cannot make you agree with them, then they feel threatened. But why?

   Yes, misunderstandings are the norm--not the exception. Just sayin'. Try not to have a cow over it. Pretty please.

So, what do you think of this??? I think the guy is a nazi alright, and a good many other things, but calling him that wasn't exactly prudent. The result was murder...

   What bugs me is that people will misunderstand, and appear to me to deliberately misunderstand--- what I just wrote. Or is it just my perception? The same goes about Trump... But I sympathize with the guy, because I think he's truly trying to help. The critics are proven wrong again and again, but that doesn't stop them. Something else is going on, then.

   Drastic measures may be necessary. Try not to misunderstand that, ok? But I'm not holding my breath...
