To other people’s lives:
The structures around them begin to seem
More sinister,
And when we struggle to understand
It’s easy to mistrust and assume the worst;
To see reaching out as grasping;
To see a natural reticence as devious,
And to misread well-intentioned words
As insults and assume the worst…
A search — and wait — for clarity
Can help alleviate many misunderstandings.
