Greetings good citizen, since the dawn of ability to share our thoughts with others of our kind there has been disturbing tendency to not want to know what the messenger has to share.
What we have to share is important and we take great pains to make ourselves understood [with most of us failing miserably, either shouted down because someone else wanted to speak or botched by our own poor command of the awkward skill we call speech.]
What you say is often not what the other person hears/comprehends.
Even putting it in writing seldom saves you. No matter how meticulous you are, someone will always take something out of context.
Hard to pin it down actually. Part of it is words that have multiple meanings and part of it is perceptual difficulties, either the individual don't understand the word or they were taught only half of it's possible meanings.
That said, the 'imprecision of speech' is driven by the limitations of intellect.
We need a much larger vocabulary than we already have just to begin to curb the mis-communication dilemma.
It is here we encounter the phenomenon of just because we CAN talk to one another doesn't mean we SHOULD.
Add to that the tendency to lie...which is often couched as 'exaggeration' when initially discovered and most people are dumbfounded when embellishments result in discovering the whole tale was a falsehood.
Like how did you get saddled with settling for a paycheck while 'fatso the liar' gets unending 'income streams'?
This ironically is not via his 'mastery' of communications nor his adeptness at fabricating falsehood but at his connection to his fellow fabricators who pretend to administer 'justice'.
Yup, even the 'Order of the Robe' isn't beyond fabricating when it meets their needs. [Think that's bad, Spirit in the Sky is a total fabrication and you're expected to 'tithe' (give 10% of your income) to the lying bastards!]
It is 'theorized' that certain hive dwelling insects possess rudimentary communication abilities but they (as close as researchers can tell) can't convey abstract ideas.
Insects also work themselves to death but that's a whole other kettle of fish...
Are you still with me?
Didn't think so, esoteric pieces don't capture the imagination of the passionate types.
And the shocker here is how from the beginning the ability to communicate has been used to 'lie'.
So useful is this ability that it was nurtured until we arrive at present day and wonder why the first person to open his fat yap wasn't bludgeoned to death [for lying.]
How ironic that the first comprehensible word was likely 'no'. Followed by the shortest word, 'I'.
Three letters and a world of shit later we arrive at the here and now, wondering how it all went wrong?
Walk it back children!
Thanks once again for letting me open your mind,
