Why are people confused?

At the beginning of June, I began posting videos about a trip I took to Europe. Since I only post one video a week, the time it will take to publish the entire series will be 14 weeks. The last video I hope to upload on September 4. When I became sick and needed to be hospitalized because I had sepsis and a fungal infection in my brain, I did not think it would matter if I posted my hospital visit (and subsequent medical care I received) on my other YouTube channel. I thought it was very clear that my cruise videos started to be published to YouTube a number of weeks before I was sick.

Apparently, I was completely wrong. People have contacted me and have inquired how I could go to Europe if I was sick with an infection in my brain. I have explained over and over again, the Europe videos started to be posted at the beginning of June. My hospital visit was not published until the middle of July. Clearly, I went to Europe and returned home BEFORE I became sick.

As with all things, I try to learn lessons from my experiences. I think the lesson I learned is people get confused. They cannot rationalize that if a video series began weeks before a hospitalization, then the video series must have been filmed before the hospitalization. I will try to not make that mistake again. If I am posting a video series, I will make sure videos on my other channel are generic videos, which do not reference a place or time.

But, perhaps, that is futile too. If someone wants to hate another person or cast a person in a bad light, they will find a way to do it.

I realize this post is a negative one. I am trying to be more positive. So, let's end on a happy note. If you think someone is contradicting himself/herself, give the person the benefit of the doubt. You may have misunderstood the situation or not have all the necessary information to understand the situation. Love the person and move on with life.
