Letters, emails, instant messages, texts, post, shout outs, banners, post its, reminders, tags, verbal, written or maybe even hand gestures. All of these are ways on how to relay some thought/ idea that you may want to share to others. You feel strongly about it so you have to say it.
In this day and age, depending on what technology is readily available we learn to adapt. Using websites like Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Plurk and many other sites we can express our thoughts and POVs. Forget the age all handwritten letters and how can we forget the MESSAGE IN THE BOTTLE scene! We can now readily speak our mind up in the CLOUD (internet space) and can easily reach millions in seconds.
But SPEED is only one part of the process of conversation. If you look at it in the bigger picture it is actually a minute part of it. We tend to forget that it is the connection that we are building that is more important. That connection that overlaps all form of communication! Whether you speak with your voice, Write your heart out or dance with the rhythm of the world that connection you build with the other is what matters.
We ACT, before we FEEL. That maybe one of the major flaws of the human race. We take ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS to literally. Letting go the other aspect of really ACTING! We act because we feel like doing it, we ACT so we can FEEL it, and we ACT so that the other can actually FEEL us. We don’t just ACT and say there I did it! That lost of sensation/ feeling can actually lead us to a highly mechanized society. A modern society where information is very important and HUMANITY is but a medium of relaying information.
I admit that I’m one of those people. A highly technology reliant being. I sometimes forget to FEEL to actually reach out and to actually communicate with others. Eventually creating a barricade between the inner you and the outside.
so START CONVERSING and COMMUNICATING PROPERLY. It will be a start that will spark your life in the right path!
Talk too you soon!
