I have decided that communication is highly underrated. Can you imagine if people were able to speak to one another without fear of reprisal? There is so much walking on eggshells and pussyfooting around people. It is actually possible (and probable) that some people go to the grave thinking someone likes or dislikes them when, in reality, they haven’t the slightest idea. It even seems that some people don’t care to know, often times those who mean the most to us.
For the record, I want everyone and anyone who reads this to know that I will not lash out at something you have to say to me, I will listen. I will think about it, then react in a reasonable manner. Let’s see if we can start a trend with this. If you feel the same, tell me and anyone you know. Even if we can’t make this entire world a better place, at least we can make our own world a little better, and all it takes is a little communication.
Absolutely agree. A lot of what goes unspoken often is communicated through body language, be it facial expressions or whatever, and it leaves room for misinterpretation. The end result sometimes becomes hurt feelings, and defensiveness. I imagine that a lot of racial and sexist tensions get brought up through lack of communication, although I admit a lot of that has to do with ignorance.
Anyway, it’s not just the lack of communication that’s become the problem, it’s also the methods in which we communicate to each other. But that’s a whole other can o’ beans.
FWHEY!
