This world communicates too much

This world communicates too much

Too much talking results in distractions

Society consumes communication (one way), rather than attempting to understand (2 way loop with feedback).

We don’t always need to talk in order to proceed

Humans have brilliant individual minds to think powerfully critically imaginatively, given the right time, but when they are forced to communicate quickly to let others understand, they compromise their thoughts, generate more misunderstanding than understanding, complex thoughts (with emotions attached) becomes simplified (rationalized, simplified) in order to tell stories to others so they could understand…..interpreting boils down to talking…..personal becomes status quote, bibles, music notes are the most over-communicated mediums in contemporary, leaving no room for self interpretation/enlightenment. How to create something (a text) that can multiply in meaning specific to each individuals?

We should interpret more rather than talking more.

We need a better communication method than language, language sets barriers to understand our inner thoughts.

We are afraid our thoughts not being accepted by others, we lack our confidence and faith in believing our thoughts, that’s why we are forced to communicate,

But in return is Misunderstanding, everyone stereotypes, everyone wants to understand others, but in reality, they want others to understand themselves, forcing others into their own thoughts and labels.

Everything becomes others not yours, everything is perceived by society via consensus, not your own. We should not communicate too much.

Everyone compromise themselves (by being simple) in order to be understood by others,

Everyone looses ingenuity, complexity in order to communicate.

Too much communication, learn not to speed to others, listen to your own mind, your own body. Not being selfish, but being aware.

Wondering what the world would be like without communication, without language.

There was a period in the pre-historic where homo-sapiens did not speak a language, how did they know each other’s thoughts, did they need communications to live?

Plug your ears for an hour a day and listen, you will realize there is no such thing as ‘silence’, in fact, it is only “the absence of unintended sounds”* that are much richer and have yet to be explored.
