Communication is a wonderful thing. Clarity is also splendid. Conversation is enjoyable. To quote Tony the Tiger, they’re great, all of them. They’re also a bit of a challenge sometimes. Even best friends sometimes miscommunicate, and husbands and wives who think they can finish the other’s sentences are well advised not to. Because for every good thing that can be said about communication, forty-seven bad things can be said about miscommunication. In person. Face-to-face. In letters. In emails. In texts. In social media posts.
But when we say just the right thing at just the right time, it’s a beautiful thing.
