Interpretations

'I'm just a fool whose intentions are good, Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood". Several conversations recently were reminders of how different people remember the same event differently. I talked with a friend about a hiking trip we were on a few years ago and the way he remembered it, I had to leave early because I was not feeling well. I did leave early but it was because my then girl friend, now my wife, had a wreck and almost totalled her car. Another instance of a conversation I had with my daughter, she seemed to remember that I had told her that I was getting more cable channels that I was paying for and I may have said that but it turns out not to be true. It seems the cable company doesn't want people to subscribe to basic cable so they don't list all of the channels that come with basic cable in their literature. Of course this brought up the question of honesty. If I were getting more channels that I was paying for, would I tell the cable company? Honesty also came up in a conversation about her husband who recently had an emergency visit to the hospital. After he got out, he would bring up the fact that he was in the hospital but then would not give the real reason for it. Is that because he was ashamed of the real reason? But to my why of thinking, why even mention being in the hospital if you aren't going to tell the truth about why you were there?
