you know what your listener needs. but/and you’re trying to change them.

to your listener, who relies on you as a source of info, it’s frustrating.

it’d be even more frustrating to them i think, if they knew that you knew what you were (or were not) doing.

i feel your pain too – i’ve had long conversations about windows with my family. the os or the GUI element – how can it be both?

everyone’s happier in the end, if some reasonable understanding is reached, regardless of whether it’s the absolute truth or not.

life accepts partial credit.
