First, as a disclaimer I just want to say that I am not adressing to one person. This is just a generalization. Tonight something struck me....why can't people communicate. If broken down to the very core meaning, communication is the very object that has brought us from four legs to two legs and two hands. All the way from primate to homosapien. The ability to communicate and share ideas in its purest existance is the very thing that is responseble for the development of society. But why then are we still struggling with communication well over 4000-6000 years later?!?
As a person that has unusual amounts of charisma and passion I am very straight foward in everything I do in life whether it be in work or play, all the way to the feelings I share with a loved one. This infact has probably been due to my wonderful upbringing and the setting for which my role models have been. But still I find that people can not communicate up to my expectations! Do I demand to much of them? I think not. How simple is it to say what is on your mind? Evidently it is very hard because 15 out of 20 people surveyed randomly on the streets said they would rather lie than to break bad news to someone. This is besides the point though and is away from what I want to cover tonight.
The main point of my writing this article is upon inspection of the bond of communication not only in marraige, but also in simple dating relationships. If you can not hold a converstation with someone do you think you are truely interested in this person?? Probably not. The problem with people today is that they do not understand the importance of communication. By itself, it has to be the most important factor of a relationship because logically if there is no interchange of words or dialouge there can be no love or compassion feeling for one or another let alone a relationship that will last till death till depart. All I guess I'm trying to say is that for goodness sakes, if you have something that is on your heart or mind, then say it. Like good old Abe said, "it is better to take a chance and leap out than to look back on that day and wish that you had done something else for that moment may have changed your life." All I know is that if you speak up, atleast you are heard, but if you don't....then who knows the lifetimes worth of opportunities you may have missed.
Carpe Diem
