There is always challenge in understanding matters we encounter in life. Human tend to have their own perception on everything before trying to know deeper or understanding a matter from various perspective.
All of us mostly familiar with the quote "think before you respond". Sometime that is not the case, because of our auto-perception on situation or on others, respond or reaction from us came as quick as flash. Of course, there is positive and negative side of this speedy respond or reaction, depend on the situation and circumstances that you are in.
My take is that, in any situation or circumstances, it is always better to let the matter goes into your brain and digest the matter in a realization or a clear mind for even at least 10 to 15 seconds before you speak or react, given it is not a matter of life or death where every second counts. This way, it will allow you to respond or react with your EQ as well as IQ. Thus will lead to better communication and better handling of situation, avoiding confusion or misconception of matters we face daily in this buzzing life.
If you are already having a habit of auto-perception, do take note that is not ideal in human communication in so many ways. My Suggestion is try to practice to take a breath, long inhale and exhale before replying or saying anything. Ephesians 4:29 - Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
