Body language, tone, and discernment. Those are but a few ways one communicates non-verbally. It is no secret that more than 90% of communication is actually believe to be non-verbal.

In the virtual world of blogs and forums, such communication is imperceivable.

Recently, I’ve been in several discussions [like this one, this one, and this one] around the blogosphere where misunderstandings have seemed to abound. You see, as you read these very words right now, you are projecting on me a certain tone, motivation, and circumstance that your subconscious fabricates based on a number of things.

Such projections may or may not be realistic.

That said, let’s implement a general rule friendly guideline here at the good ole’ Shadows of Love:

Let’s always assume the best.

If you think I’m being cynical, judgmental, or an all-around ass about something, how about just assuming I’m not. I agree to do the same thing to any who wish to comment, discuss, and converse (and all are always welcome).

You may ask, “but what if you really are being cynical, judgmental, and an all-around ass about something?”.

The truth is, sometimes that WILL be the case. This, after all, is the Shadows of Love, not the fullness of it…yet . But, if we still assume the best of each other, such will hopefully be perceived and will become reality. Can you imagine the connection, the peace, and the conversation that could happen in front of that backdrop?

I mess up. I make mistakes. I take cheap shots. It happens. At my core, however, I care most about Love, Freedom, and Relationships. Want to explore them together?
