I remember several times in the past when a statement crossed my lips and the second it was out I regretted saying such a thing. For example, one time a friend and I skipped to friends party to go to a concert. I told him the truth about the concert but she told him she was sick and couldn't be there. The next day I thanked him for excusing me from the party and the Mary and I had a great time. I did not know what she had told him and I had caused fraction between the two. It took two years of apologising to get her to forgive me. Of course, she wasn't mad at her brother but I was the chosen choose for her rage. People do these kinds of things all the time and it always hurts when others get their feeling hurt. I believe that communication is an essential part of life to be used with great skill. We must take great care to be accurate in what we say to convey our meaning. Probably the hardest thing to do is stand up to a person and apologise after such a misunderstanding. It never turns out well for either of the particants becausse the words can not be taken back. Aways consider your words carefully when you speak because you don't want the possibility that statement could be misintrepided. Alway clearly state what you mean to convey. Above all if in doubt about relaying information make sure it is okay with others involved in your joint venture.
