When I first read your answer, I reacted, "how dare he say
something like that about me, who does he think he is... blah,
blah, blah.."
But immediately I was aware of the reaction I was also aware of
the mechanism behind it.
It is the same mechanism behind his answer.
I think I know what he is saying, and he thinks he knows what I
am saying.
And so we each have an "idea" of what the other person is saying
and we respond according to our own idea, our own
interpretation.
So really, we can never know for certain what the other person
means, we can only guess according to our own experience.
So we never really react to other people, what we react to is
our idea of other people.
If this is seen, then one can laugh!!!
waste more time thinking about this kind of stuff
