Context is indeed important to understanding what someone says.

 

Do I take in the context as well as the words, and respond accordingly?

 

Or do I take your words out of their context, put into my context,

and thereby make a point that I want to make? (This use of context

makes a " me " and a " you " diologically, with the separation of contexts

-- ironic if this is done to make the point that there is no " you " or

" me. " )

 

Am I listening openly without premeditated concerns, or am I listening

with a mind to make my point when and where I can?
