Have you ever had a good intention, expressed that intention (after thinking it through for some time and believing you know how to say what you want to say without it coming across arrogant, offensive or rude) only for that intention to do exactly what you had hoped it would not do, muddy the waters even more than they were, like stirring up the muck in a shallow pond so you can no longer see the fish, the rocks, the seaweed and the bottom that once was clearly visible through the movement of the water current?

Well today I did that and it will all be alright, but just rather uncomfortable for a conversation or two until the other party believes and feels I meant no harm, malice nor had a hidden agenda.
