“The single biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has taken place.”
― George Bernard Shaw
I still become amazed that communication happens at all. We each use words in our own ways, often with very different meanings for any given word than the others around us are using. We hurt and become hurt so easily and willfully misunderstand according to our own experience. Yet not only does communication happen from time to time but even understanding may ensue. Not by happy accident but thru sheer intent and will does this happen. Communication often becomes hard. We must really want to do it pretty often.
It occurs to me that many of the same things that block us from expressing our hearts, our pride and need to be understood are also the things that make it happen. When it comes down to it, despite appearances, perhaps communication does not happen body to body but heart to heart.
Blessings, G
