Which do you want more?

To be heard or understood...

Neither, because if you do things wrong you'll be attacked, and if you do things right you'll be attacked. This is not a negative view on life, but rather, a statement of how things are. Even folks like Gandhi, Mother Theresa, and Dr. King had their detractors; so what hope do the rest of us have? I don't concern myself with others opinions. I love and respect all animals, and try to love and respect all humans---though I must admit---the former is much easier than the latter.

Well both are important. But being understood is more important I believe.

Neither - If you understand yourself there no need to be heard

@PhoenixPhail 😊😊😊. I don't mean to frighten you or put you off people .
My experience was i ended up bitter and sick from most of them , not all , but some .
Thats why i ened up on my own .
Relationships break ups .
Conflict with people ,
Pysche wards .
Im too old for that shit in my life and being honest i don't deserve that shit in my life .
Oh ya i had 3 suicidal attempts ,very serious ones .
I got through it all through God , spiritual books , meditation.
Thats why im on my own .
Sorry i didn't explain .
@riseofthemachine I get through all of my trials through God, as well. Meditation and spiritual books are great. I do all of that, too. And my connections with people facilitate my getting through with God. That's why God gave us each other.

I'm sorry you had bitter experiences with people. I can see how that could put you off wanting to be with them.

For me, others are the reflection of my soul. I know myself through my relationships with them. my relating with them brings up everything I need to look at in myself. I don't want to miss that growth experience, even though it's sometimes painful.

@PhoenixPhail you dont want to miss the growth . I ageee 100% 😊😊😊
To be understood.

@PhoenixPhail will i tell you another one the pain of the break up was the worst pain i went through than my best friend that died . Will i tell you why she's still there when you break up and she comes and goes into your mind all of the time . While a death you know she's being looked after and you can have her in your thoughts as in good memories,
While break ups comes in , it mixed memories , regrets , and good times .
Thats why people jump onto one to another to avoid that train of thought .
Even with break ups you still would have ending up hsving feelings for her . I don't care what anyone says , but its true .
And i had a bad break up ,and yet still have feelings for her even tho its a long time .
@riseofthemachine Yes. I understand. I hope your path leads you to where you want to go.

All The Best 🤝

@PhoenixPhail oh ya i had a best friend that died .
Another best friend i couldn't be around her cause i be afraid she'd end up getting attacked by people . I had to keep her safe . And she was good to me . I mean good
@riseofthemachine You're fortunate to have had her for the time you did. It was a gift.

@HoraceGreenley does it bother you?
HoraceGreenley · 61-69, M
@Unlearn Yes, sometimes. I wish people would do a better job about learning about the world we all share.

Neither
I am done.
For me personally, it was always to be understood, and although I've finally found that, I still strive for it with everyone, but only a couple really do.

It even suits me, if anyone wants to give me a pseudonym name instead of using Aurora S.I. then I hope he would call me Dawn Understood 🤭

To be understood, you have to be heard. However, you can be heard without being understood.

I don't have much to say and I gave up on being understood a long time ago.
Need. No want which is Nothing other than the truth.

Period.

@GeistInTheMachine dramatic enough!?
GeistInTheMachine · 31-35, M
@Unlearn Aww. An opinion you don't like? You'll be fine, kid. It's just words.
Is to be understood not the same as to be heard?
Unlearn · 41-45, M
@V00doo no
