Relational breakdown

“It is not enough to insure that people understand you, but to insure that they cannot misunderstand you.”

Halford Luccock, Professor in yale Divinity School from 1928 to 1953

I am convinced that churches split, friends fall out of favor, marriages wither, and relationships in general fail because this bit of advice is rarely consistently observed.

I'll see if I can't make this quote a rule for my communication this coming semester.

As I'm reading through the Gospels lately, I've noticed that Jesus didn't seem to follow this advice.
