| the entire concept of communication is an utterly confusing one. The subjectivity of the spoken word makes the very idea of communication splinter into an incoherent lack of substance. Imagine trying to describe a rainbow to someone that was born blind, no matter how perfectly you describe it it is entirely up to that person to interpret the information presented. Words lack the substance to convey what is going on inside someones head. trying to communicate feelings and ideas is, in a way, flawed because you cant really get your point across. The words may seem perfect in your head but those words are solely based on your experiences so when you present that information to someone else those words undergo a metamorphosis based upon the feelings and experiences that the individual associates with those words. Therefore, the original idea/feeling/experience you are trying to communicate is no longer that original idea that existed inside your mind. In many ways we are all completely isolated within ourselves no matter how hard we try to communicate with those outside of ourselves. What we see to be our friends are really just our interpretation of those particular individuals based on their spoken words and actions. This is one of the most irritating concepts that has plagued my mind for far too long. To think that every individual is a reflection twisted into a thousand different images within a thousand different minds all at once and never. I wonder how can love truly exist between 2 individuals when their minds can never truly see each other. It seems to me at least that the significance love is compromised when you stop to think about how your really just in love with who you interpret that person to be. Each word has a slightly different meaning to each individual so how can we really communicate what is going through our mind without it being reworked into something that the person we are communicating with can relate to? Is trying to convey ones feelings pointless due to this? I'm not altogether certain one way or the other. Maybe as humans we need to feel like we aren't alone and maybe even understood by others. Maybe one would go crazy just bottling all of their thoughts and feelings up and maybe that is why I'm writing this. Again, I'm not altogether sure. To feel as though you are connected with someone is a wonderful feeling as long as you don't stop to consider what it is exactly that connects you. I guess the entire point of this article has been lost in its very first stages of interpretation transitioning from my head into typed words. Trying to understand anything is a very tiring process when you suspect the integrity of the very words you use to define your own thoughts are compromised. It all seems so flawed to try and fit the utter hopelessness or at least perceived utter hopelessness of this concept into prefabricated bits of surely misinterpreted ideas.... words
