A Connemara hotelier wrote a furious letter to the County Manager plaining that； in his area； renowned for outstanding natural beauty； major road repairs were consistently carried out in the height of the tourist season。 If this wasn’t sabotage； he growled； it was an example of extreme professional insensitivity。
The County Engineer replied； politely and regretfully； explaining that； given the Irish climate；they had no option but to repair the roads in summer； as otherwise the tar wouldn’t set。
The hotel owner laughed when he told the story。 “Years of anger and frustration – and all due to my own ignorance！”
I was reminded of a man I knew； whose childhood had been overshadowed by the fact that； aged eight； he had been dispatched to relatives in the country； while his mother underwent treatment for cancer。 To spare the boy； nothing was said about the cause for his removal。
He suffered through many weeks； assuming that he must have done something terrible to forfeit the right to his home and to his parents’ love。 Even after he grew up and got his facts straight； the feeling of rejection persisted。
It’s staggering to think that； even as we speak； countless lives and relationships are being ruined by virulent； destructive feelings generated by pure misconceptions。
