Communication is tripping on the illusion of it happening at all
Communication or Illusion

Have you ever heard the statement that the biggest problem with communication is tripping on the illusion of if it ever happening at all?


Communication seems scarce these days. With all the social media, e-mail, cell phones and people that just can't figure out how to speak to each other; communication seems to be a hidden gem in the vast sea of things, most just can't get the hang of. Especially face to face conversation and that is sad due to it being the basis of human connection and our easiest and most available resource.


I believe a lot of the communication problems in our society and personal lives, lies in feeling judged. In my experience, it seems people can say little to nothing and if feeling judged they retreat and just don't say a thing. Physical altercations have a lot to do with this exact issue. We all should be able to speak to one another without judgment!


My daddy always had pictures of horses in our house that said "It's not the size of the man in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the man." If you can not communicate what needs to be, other things seem to become key to solving whatever issue is on the rise. Some of them may not be the best choices but at times, chaos ensues. If people could go through life without feeling judgement passed on them, life would go a lot smoother! When one spends time judging other people, it leaves no room for loving them!!


There are so many forms of communication. Verbal, non-verbal, written, facial, hand & body expressions and some have no choice but to rely on some of those forms. Those who do may very well have more luck than others do with words.


One of the first things we learn in life is to talk. Maybe there is just not enough training on how to do it. Maybe someone should incorporate that in our schools of our little ones. Start them early!!


I think that talking isn't always communicating. I think that at times, hearing what is not said is the most important in communication. There are other times where I think we need to listen and really listen. Life is crazy and we get busy and do not realize that we are not listening to our loved ones or whoever is trying to speak to us. We are shutting down communication before it even gets started.


In the Bible, James 1:19 states "Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry." I personally think that it all flows together but I get the point.


How do you feel about communication? What do you think is important when trying to communicate with others?


In the end, I believe where words can not be spoke, music can do the speaking for us!
