It would never cross my mind
to be purposefully unkind,
but I am fallible too,
and making mistakes is what we humans do.

It's part of my nature to constructively criticize
so unintentionally I may cause hurt in your eyes.
Acting stupidly happens to intelligent people too.
I really didn't intend to offend you.

People misinterpret others all the time.
We're unable to read each others' minds.
Doing so would be sublime,
but face it--humanity will never make that climb.

So forgive others, as well as yourself, and remember to properly apologise.
Try to be cognizant and wise.
Compromise.
Arise.
Celebrate the highs.
Dispense with the lies,
and find ways to correct, improve and get on with your lives.
