One of the many paradoxes in which we live is that in the age of mass and rapid communication, we humans have more and more problems in communicating.
Today, in a matter of hours, sometimes minutes, we can find out what is happening on the other side of the country. News arrives at full speed; radio, television, magazines, and newspapers make an effort to convey news about small and big events, giving them their desired color. And we stand on the sidelines, talking to others less than we do with the television screen, the radio, talking to a few printed color pages featuring famous faces.
Nevertheless, we know little to nothing about what is happening in the souls of our friends and relatives, we are not sure about what we ourselves feel and think, and worst of all, it is difficult for us to truly communicate with others.
People believe that they love and believe that they think, but they are not sure about the authenticity of their feelings or thoughts. Proof of this is the speed with which many change their opinion or partners… Parental and sibling relationships are Sometimes, events are held out of necessity or conventionality, but true love and natural expression of that love are lacking. Words and spontaneous gestures that indicate the presence of emotional connections are missing.
Let’s leave behind the usual greetings and mumbles, artificial words for various circumstances and conversations.
Instead of slightly more sincere words, human contact is reduced to emotional impulses that come and go, appear and disappear with the same instability as those impulses.
Ideas about life and its numerous social, political, economic, cultural, religious, and other aspects depend on ever-changing fashion trends, and since no one wants to be labeled as “strange,” they conform to fashion, changing their opinions according to trends.
We also cannot clearly and explicitly express our way of thinking because we don’t really think, and what little we do think is not part of us.
Thus, we remain isolated in the world of communication. Information media sterilizes us, and in them, our social life begins and ends. votes. The hours spent in that often artificial busyness prevent us from dedicating a few moments of peace to communicating with those around us.
We hear the words of love spoken by characters on the screen so often that we no longer feel the need to say them to those we love. Furthermore, the power of fiction turns our possible but unspoken words into fiction.
So what is happening?
There are two problems: a lack of ideas and feelings – because no one has taught or prepared us to develop them – and the inability to express what we do not possess within ourselves or possess, but very vaguely and ambiguously.
Failures of both big and small ideologies, everyday sentimental failures, are signs that warn of the instability of feelings and ideas that neither have a solid foundation nor are well-formed.
The lack of communication stems from the uncertainty of saying or doing what is not clear to us, neither within ourselves nor in others.
I think it is necessary to reexamine our feelings and p Recognize those positives so we can give them a role they can and should play in our lives. It is up to us to control and avoid harmful emotions, and to strengthen those that are beneficial. But it is necessary to examine our ability to think, analyze, choose, decide, and act according to our decision; first and foremost, it is necessary to learn to reason independently and not allow ourselves to be influenced by what currents of thought accept or do not accept.
From here to the right words, there is only one step needed. It is impossible to truly feel and not express it, just as it is impossible to think and not act according to those ideas. Communication needs to add communication among people who know what needs to be conveyed to the world.
