When You Can't Believe What Happened: Misunderstanding By Genesis




As much as I want something to go perfectly smooth, there are times when a nasty surprise comes out of nowhere. That usually happens when the last thing that I want is for something to go wrong. When the bad news suddenly breaks and crap hits the fan, you'd like to believe that it's just your imagination. Unfortunately, it isn't and now there's a whole new mess you have to deal with. When it comes to unpleasant surprises/development that ruin your plans and hopes, the song "Misunderstanding" by Genesis comes to mind.

I guess I've been letting the pressure get to me lately because every time somebody assures me that it's fool-proof, something always happens that ruins it all. When disaster strikes, you're left with a wide-eyed look and you try to find answers. Then the clods who gave you the assurance are nowhere to be found. In the end, you find yourself holding a very messy bag. Two are on your mind and they are "What Happened"?!

Well one thing's for sure and that's live and learn. Fix the situation as best as you can learn from the mistakes. Sadly, this doesn't mean that it won't happen again as some people are careless or clueless and it's so hard to rely on such clods. In the end, you just do what you can. Misunderstandings and mistakes happen so just be prepared for them as well.
