literally

Don't believe it.

It is an act of self deception to take what I say literally.

It is an act of self deception to take what anyone says literally.

It is an act of self deception to take anything you read literally.

You see you just can't do it.

You are not me. You cannot see things as I see them. You do not have the same experience in the world that I do.

I write from my perspective. If I am writing well then I am delivering my message from my point of view. Sometimes I slip up on the writing well part, this complicates the matter.

Your perspective, most likely, will allow us to intersect in a place of near understanding. But not complete understanding. You will be able to nearly get everything I write, just not exactly get it.

Even when we seem to be in complete agreement on something there will be a variation in the color.

It is that way with everything. This is something that reminds us to be humble. This is something that tells us not to act strictly but to act with some degree of latitude.

This is something that tells us to think for ourselves.
