Meaning and Interpretation

The game Telephone shows how humorously and unpredictably messages can morph as they pass from one person to the next. But in the game of life, it isn’t so entertaining when what we intended to communicate wasn’t heard the way we wanted. This game is a good reminder of just how precarious human communication is. It’s good to keep in mind when we feel offended by our interpretation of something someone said or did. It’s possible that the way we heard it…

Wasn’t what they meant.
