Misaligned Arrows

Have you been satisfied with a discussion, only to find to your dismay that everything you’ve said has been completely misinterpreted?

This, unfortunately, happens all to often. We believe, with sincerity, that we’ve understood someone only to find that it not so, or worse, caused a monumental disaster. We’ve misaligned arrows and misdirected information. 

Hence, the crucialty of communication. Chaos can ensue if it goes awry. It’s all about how about ideas get across – we’ve to make sure listeners receive them clearly. We’ve to listen actively too, lest we misintepret them. Feedback about their understanding with pointed questions is essential, as is being adaptable – different folks understand different topics in various ways. 

Enjoy these Senryus.
