I seem to be hurting people I am close to. I am too blunt and insensitive with people I expect to understand me. This class on interpersonal communication is clearly telling me I need to reform that side of myself. Tonight I offended one of my housemates by correcting them in a very direct yet discouraging way. The class points out there are five ways to communicate things so the listener understands better. I wish there was perfect knowledge...oh wait it's in the Bible yet understanding is still from God.
Proverbs 1:7
The [reverent] fear of the Lord [that is, worshiping Him and regarding Him as truly awesome] is the beginning and the preeminent part of knowledge [its starting point and its essence];
But arrogant [a]fools despise [skillful and godly] wisdom and instruction and self-discipline.
