Communication, by K-e Ivares Any sender of information is only responsible for his/hers own intention put into the message, and not for the receivers interpretation of the message. Because any message can be interpreted in an almost infinite number of ways,due to the core beliefs and understanding of the receiver. This means that I as the receiver am totally responsible for my own interpretation of any message, and can therefore not ever put any blame on the sender of the message. It is also my responsibility as the receiver to ensure that I have understood what the sender actually is trying to convey. If I am not interested in that,the requirements for a two way communication does not exist. My own interpretation might be meaningful for myself, but cannot be used for a two way communication, without confirmation of the intended meaning of it from the sender. We can now also add the respect for every individuals Freedom and Free Will into this. Meaning anyone having the right to have and express any opinion about anybody or anything else. I can see that nobody can ever offend or violate me by expressing their own opinion, about me or anything else. Because my Free Will does not extend to what anybody else is doing, as long as they don’t disrespect my own Freedom and Free Will to rule myself. Which obviously does not include others opinions. From this it is quite clear that we have, as always in our society, got it all backwards. I as the receiver am always responsible for my interpretation and for my own reaction to any message. Even if the sender would express derogatory or offensive opinions about me, my religion, my opinions or whatever. I must acknowledge his/hers Freedom to have any opinion, but also that their opinion actually doesn’t have anything to do with myself. Anybody’s opinions doesn’t change me or what I am. It is simply completely irrelevant. And if a person doesn’t have the ability to appreciate what I am,why interact with that person at all? K-e Ivares
