I often wonder how the human race has made it this far. This uncommunication between them seems to exist in all walks of life and in all forms. I have witnessed so many friends stir up an anxiety scenario of epic propotion based soled out of extropolating ideas of what a person 'might' think of them 'may' have said or 'could possibly' be doing. All of which could be quelled with one simple act:Communication. Just saying' what do you think' or else saying 'this is what I think'.
I often speak my mind but this has made my own collaberation with the human race a bit uneasy. I am possibly even more of an introvert because often I just don't understand the human animal. The layers of sublte lies and nuances used to hold society together seem to be fabricated on a network of assumptions, misunderstandings, and hope. Odd.
Also, it's interesting because in many ways I'd say the health and comfort of the US has greatly decreased in the past 50 years. Food might be cheaper and clothing but everything else is much more expensive, housing, etc and there are far more taxes that exist then did in 1950 say. So that also adds stress. It is an odd time in the US where we seem to be slowly moving to an odd 3rd world. Look at cities where old industry left in the 80's and it looks the way we were always told soviet Russia looked, but I digress. Yes, communication seems something very hard for the human animal to get their heads round and it makes sense it is fear based, as fear is the main impetus to biological survival, the little animal that isnt' afraid of the bigger one doesn't last long enough to pass on it's DNA.
This is a wonderful comment @donnadavisart :) Thank you for sharing your thoughts here with me.
Despite being both emotional and thinking animals, the former aspect of our nature often overrides the latter. I suppose that is because evolutionary speaking our thinking and rational abilities are younger, this doesn't help communication to take place efficiently. It causes us to automatically react to our instinct often crippling our capacity to talk, to listen ... It is complex. At the individual and social level!
I wish you all the best and a great Saturday evening :)
