THAT is what I mean by "everything is a matter of perspective!
How you interpret things ( written or otherwise) depends on where your head is at in any given moment.

The written word is not perfect.  I was at a seminar a while back where this was illustrated so well by the repetition, out loud,  of one sentence, changing the word on which the emphasis was stressed.  We all read with our own "filters" in place.  Try this simple exercise and see for yourself how the implied meaning changes.  You get the best idea if you do it out loud.  It's kind of fun to see how the implied meaning changes so much!
