We all have our uniqueness that is one important factor we ought to know as far as we are dealing with people.
Most times I get to ask myself; Is it really possible to stay with someone without stepping on each other's toe? (Without having a misunderstanding). The answer turned out to come in two ways based on what I've learnt and experienced.
I learn and believe that living or dealing with anyone we ought to understand that person's uniqueness, their likes and dislikes, get to understand their personality, why they act the way they do and why they talk the way the do. It's important that we shouldn't expect others to be like us, but we ought to learn to accept them for who they are and try to blend and understand them and not change them.
Sitting to ponder on this word, so many thoughts crowd through my mind, while most people can't stay without having misunderstandings. I discovered something amazing. Hence, I discovered that breaking down the word, I discovered that there is something we've missed to understand about the person we stay with that is the reason why misunderstanding sets in.
Misunderstanding is a failure to understand something or someone correctly, or an argument that results from a failure to understand each other:
Getting to any environment or closer to anyone, I try my best to understand the person's uniqueness, see how to cope or stay with the person in peace and harmony, because naturally I don't like problems, so i try everything possible to avoid it and stay away from it.
Though it was so from the beginning, that is the outcome of what I learnt, and experienced. I could recall what happened between my cousin and I, we fought almost every time, (verbally), but as we continue to stay together, we began to understand each other's unique personalities and try to adjust so as to live in peace, and that has been of a great help to me and we've stay together without any misunderstanding again, because those things we missed to understand about each other, as the day passes by.
Though we don't learn about people in a day, rather it only takes patience to do so. So I believe that to eradicate misunderstanding, we ought to bridge that gap, eliminate the 'mis' then give room to understand the people we stay with or communicate with.
Though I talk less, but I reserve my strength from talking, and channel my strength to understand the person and stay peacefully. Understanding is not yielding to others negative traits or behavior rather adjusting as to stay peacefully and being ourselves so as to stay peacefully, that has been what has worked for me thus far.
