The Importance Of Being Communicative

Today’s thought is being brought to you by:  Plankton, Honor, Rubber, and Readers Like You.

As I was pondering the nature of human interactions while jamming out to some jams and eating chicken, (because YOLO,) a thought of profoundly trivial importance crossed my mind.  It runs something along the lines of this:

Language sucks.  Sure, if we didn’t have it, we’d be screwed in a societal sense, but on a personal level, I think everyone would be a little better off if we never had to obey the rules of a fixed language.  If you had no words to bind your emotions, all of your expression would be pure, as it would come straight from the source, with no annoying middleman.  Obviously, I am not suggesting that everyone all of a sudden stop using words, although I don’t always use them, I just think communication would be so much simpler and more honest without them.

Like I said, I don’t always use words to express myself.  Sometimes simple noises, or even silence, can be far more truthful.  People have told me that it is aggravating that I don’t answer their questions in ways that they can understand.  I find those people equally aggravating because they aren’t making an effort to leave their comfort zone, and tapping into pure emotional communication.

Just a thought.  If you have time, think about it yourself.  Or don’t, your choice.
