Why words affect you so deeply - and why they don't have to. Words, except when they are loaded with meaning in order to convey understanding, can be confusing.
One person uses words to say the right thing. Another person, with rhetorical slyness, twists the facts, but his words go down just as well.
Which one do you believe? What is the truth?
Confusing? Yes, but if you have understanding, you will not be confused, because you can see the intent behind each person_s words.
