Speaking is an art not to be taken lightly. With words creating and destroying worlds everyday, we still tend to under-estimate their power. Emphasis always being on language to impress, to persuade, to impose, to lead ,these are some of its uses aggressively propogated. Conventionally we are taught since childhood the use of these words in a certain manner or discipline in an effort to standardise everybody's understanding of the same words. Even then we have problems interpreting and deciphering other people's intentions or ideas using the same words.
It does create curitosity in me to understand, how is it that the same words used by different people could be interpreted or received differently. May be the other mediums of communication are probably much more influencing then the words coming out or may be these words are useless unless used in conjunction with certain jestures or body language. Writing would be quite a challenge in this case as there is no body to observe while reading, omitting that essential element of the body language but still most words are received as intended by its readers. Therefore, use of words must be an art and it is as we all know today.
About couple months back, I saw two birds fighting over a morsel of food ,each time the other would take the lead by pushing the other away. It would go back and raise its head and make a loud bird-ish squeek as if a roar of threat but the other bird challenging the roar. That made me think. If there was a medium ofcommunication stronger than the these signals, may be then they will learn to share and work something out.
But then I thought, if these birds did have advanced communication skills they would start debating and arguing and reasoning, subject to they being of the civilised kind they would not end up getting physically challenging. If they were too civilised they would gather up other friends using their advanced oratory and persuasive skills in communication to gain the support of other's in the fight for morsel. Communication models societies...To great extend it molds us into a lifestyle and habbits like a living force...
