Communication at Forbes

Forbes.com (of all places!) has published a very interesting series of articles on their website, which all revolve around ‘communication‘. A number of essays center on the search for alien communications, while other looks at chimpanzee language skills, the future of the Internet and other modern communication devices, and Arthur C. Clarke even adds his own commentary on how we need to start communicating with each other. Well worth taking a look, plenty of interesting reading in there.

    It rings true. Communication is now more vital than ever in the evolving world we live in. We are closer now because of the internet than at any other previous time period in our current history. Yet, there can be a yawning chasm between people who live under the same roof. Unable to even convey a simple statement without it being misconstrued. Finding common ground brings about equanimity, harmony and satisfaction. I know I keep harping on the same basic themes of gaining knowledge to establish wisdom coupled with an empathetic sympathetic compassionate heart. It has served me well. It’s not easy but it’s a step in the right direction. Forgiveness is a requisite but also one must not fail oneself or others (for example children) by allowing bullies to intimidate or harm. Remember the old rhyme about sticks and stones? I try to look at how the masters communicated. It was always simple and without guile. Pretty straight forward, unvarnished truth, not coy or cloaked in mystery. Have you ever noticed that they just put it right out there for all and then walked away. Take it or leave it. Free will, your choice. They did not force people to go along with it, hound them or make them feel that they were less of a person for not knowing. And when they did leave those words were food for thought which started conversations which led to writing down those words. Because those were special thoughts that brought relief, understanding and contentment, not only on that day that they were spoken but alas for all time, all people, all nations. The wisdom of words spoken in love to a friend in need, a dying man, a sick child, a bereaved mother cannot take away the pain but it let’s the suffering individual know that you care and that you are there for them if they should need you. How important is communication? It is vital, from the Lascaux cave paintings to powdery scrolls literally disintegrating before our eyes, to love notes passed in third period to war letters home, from the first phone call of “Come here Watson, I need you!” to billions of phone transmissions worldwide, from a simple code pressed into clay with a stylus to HELP written in coconuts on a sugary white sand beach. We all have the need to be heard.
