It is impossible to speak/write without context.
That I have chosen to write this in English puts a colossal amount of context into play.
The place I have written this brings with it context as well.
*When* I have written this is a very large body of context. When it is being read brings further context.
Then there is me. Anything I write brings the context of my life. No one knows all of that context, not even me. There are things that have shaped my life that I have no knowledge of.
And lastly, there is you. Everyone brings their own context to the table when reading something.
All of these things are unavoidable. All of these things are unfathomable to varying degrees to everyone. What I'm trying to get at, is if something you read scratches you the wrong way, please try to reach for the "more context" button, rather than the "conflict" button. Especially here on Fedi, most folks are trying their best with their limited context supply. Time too is finite, spend it joyfully.
