I then realize there were times a simple question why would mean differently to people. For instance I came from long vacation and a colleague has bought a wand. I asked why he bought the wand. My other colleague misinterpreted my why and told me to just let him be since he wants it. I then just keep quiet and didn't defend myself. For me I just wanted to know the plain reason and no hidden motives or to mock him. I'm actually hinting it is because of the Harry Potter fever. Well it is just actually initiating a small talk. Then there was also a time a friend did not attended a wake where most of us do. And since her husband is on different religion that she explained the reason was because of the different belief. I then again ask why. Then she shouted at me saying I should respect other's faith. I have then the courage to defend myself. I told her that I don't have intention of insulting the belief. I'm actually curious and want to learn more. I just want to know their practice, the reason behind it, that's it. I really don't know what is the moral lesson of these experiences. But all I know is to simply say my intentions than just keeping quiet. Then they will know and won't judge me for the misinterpreted actions. Then understanding one another is just in our grasp.
