I have always laid a lot of
emphasis on communication as being a major source of bonding between people
meaningful communication that enables you to understand people, provided they
understand what you are trying to communicate in the first place. We tend to
add a lot of pollution to our understanding, based on how we feel at that
moment.
But today, we do tend to overlook
all of this and prefer to deal superficially. Probably, as much as is “necessary”
or as is expected out of decency and or politeness.
There was a time there was an
economy of words but substantial meaning inherent in them, a meaning that
conveyed sincerity and genuineness. There was no need to say ten words when two
were enough. Hearts were connected.
Today, we must speak volumes to
convince that we speak from the heart, which, most of the time we DON’T.
Supplemented with smiles that touch the ears but don’t reach the eyes.
In a crowd, there is an isolation.
There is limited communication. Overtly. Image building exercise, I guess.
Sometimes, I feel there is more depth in dressing up these days than depth of
communication. And therefore, no understanding of what was the essence of the
communication. The roller coaster we ride everyday gives us no scope.
