Not Getting It
You say you're not taking side but how can that be? You've taken such great care with explaining to us how you understand where they're coming from but do you even understand where we're coming from? You're not getting it and I accept that. Just don't expect me to get it, to get you (all of you guys).
This all started, I guess, when I was deciding whether an apology is worth saying if you don't mean it at all. And can you actually mean it if you don't really understand the reason why they think you owe them one? Empathy really is a bitch when you don't understand.
So, not getting it is okay. No apologies and no expectation. I don't expect the entire world to get it and don't expect me to get it. At all. :)
