Problems communicating with people?

To be as brief as possible with my analysis, I will tell a small but very old tale. A forest bear got stuck in the forest thicket—ha here, ha there—does not move! Good thing the woodcutter was passing by. He put the ax down, rescued the bear, and let him go. When Bear saw this, she overtook the kindly man and said to him, Long live, woodcutter!" You saved my bear. Do you want to be friends? He agreed—how could he refuse the terrible beast? Out of gratitude, the bear welcomed him and, before sending him away alive, stronger, reached out to kiss him. Oh, Bear, how awful your mouth smells!" The woodcutter frowned. The bear bent down and quietly thought, "Hit me with the ax now." "What are you talking about, Bear?" How can I hit you? You're my stepsister! "Hit me or I'll eat you!"The woodcutter was afraid and what to do—he listened to her. He swung his ax and brought it down on her neck. The bear growled, turned its back on him, and left. Years past. One day the woodcutter ran into Bear again in the forest. "Good meeting, brother!" She was pleased for him. The man was frightened at first, but when he saw that there was no trace of the deep wound on her neck, he embraced his old acquaintance and asked, "How are you, Bear? Have you recovered from the wound I gave you with the axe?" The bear looked at him sadly and replied, "Listen to what I'm going to tell you, man." A bad wound heals, but a bad word is not forgotten.  God has indeed given us a brain and a mouth to speak. But we humans sometimes speak without thinking about the consequences. Without putting ourselves on the other side of the coin. We think that we are always right. We don't think about whether we offend or hurt someone. We cannot know what situation the person in front of us was in. What he went through before he started talking to us. It often happens that we offend without suspecting. However, we often get offended if they say something we don't like. Therefore, we begin to divide ourselves into friends and enemies.
