I find this reminder of the nature of human communication - that it is
likely to be larger than its "stated" content - extremely important. Many
people will characterize communications freighted with irrational
contradiction and emotional and/or egocentric considerations as flawed or
weak or bad. Thank you, Michael, for the reminder that such
communications are *human*, and are also characteristic of our
communications at their best.
