Every human interaction involves three truths. Whenever we communicate there is always your truth, my truth and the truth to be spoken and understood. Whether we like it or not, none of us possesses “the whole truth”. Our personal perspective is the only one we can rightly claim. Most interpersonal conflicts stem from a) a simple misunderstanding from an incorrect assumption about the other party’s truth, or b) a control battle, wherein one or both parties wrongly assume they possess “the truth”.

After all, everyone knows what happens when we ‘ASSUME’ . . . ☺
