Doing something—or failing to do something—out of ignorance is different than doing the same thing willfully.
If I get frustrated at someone (e.g. a friend, an employee, a spouse, a child) for not doing what I think they should be doing, it’s important to clarify whether it’s out of ignorance or willfulness. Because if I want someone to do something (or not do something), but I never tell them, who’s fault is it if it doesn’t happen they way I wanted? It seems like the person who fails to communicate also shares responsibility.
So if I get frustrated at someone’s actions (or lack thereof), I might want to first double check and make sure I’m not partly to blame. Because it’s one thing to simply want something—it’s another to clearly communicate it.
