Plenty of people's lives are made miserable by misunderstandings which the pasties concerned would give anything to prevent but which i simply cannot be cleared up be cause every body's mind is in a vicious circle.
There is a kind of misunder- standing which words, however sincere and generous, will not help, because it is rooted in personality and not in logic.
