Once A King sent a message to the ruler of a neighbouring country. The message read : " send me a blue diamond 💎 as large as pigeon's egg or else..." The Kng o getting the message wrote back : " we don't have such a diamond 💎 and if we had...". The first King got very angry and declared war on his neighbour.
The fighting went on for several months till a third King 👑 arranged a meeting between the two warring rulers. So they met and the first King 👑 said to the other : " What did you mean when you said " send me the blue diamond 💎 as big as pigeon's egg or else ❓" Why he replied, I mean a blue diamond 💎 ass large as a pigeon's egg or else... some other diamonds.
I love diamonds. But what did you mean when you said: " we don't have blue diamond 💎 and if we had..."
" It is easy to get my meaning," said the other King 👑. What I wanted to say was, if we had a such a diamond 💎 wee would have gladly sent it to you." The Kings pledged to write more clearly in future communication and embraced each other and made peace.

💜 Many a times, our understanding of what is left unsaid, including even the most obvious, is what causes problems. We would avoid a lot of troubles for ourselves and others if we are clear in what we say or write. 💜
