My belief...Essentially, I am in agreement with you. My belief is that we (us mingers) have an itching desire to a) listen and b) be listened to. We are after all social animals. The problem is that our hierarchical genetics get in the way, and we feel (for a variety of reasons) afraid to say what we really want to say, in case we are ridiculed by those ahead of us in the chain. This leads to repression and sublimation, and ultimately to Obama, Brown, Hitler, Pol Pot, my boss, etc.<br /><br />That is why I feel that we are all crying from the heart.<br /><br />Goodnight.Myeralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00980212065563161388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3537291181786154235.post-20414193479873872422009-04-28T10:11:00.000+01:002009-04-28T10:11:00.000+01:00It might be most useful to define communication as...It might be most useful to define communication as, at the most basic level: <br />Information ------------>Idea<br /><br />(with Information being defined as: Everything in the Universe, and idea being defined as the response to the information.)<br /><br />I think this covers everything from the kiss of a billiard ball to the songs of Kiss, or of course, Herman's Hermits.<br /><br />It can also be seen from this that two people are required for communication. With both being active for good communication.<br /><br />Also, the woofing of dogs is basically the same as a lot of woofing (and tweeting) by people. It alters our body chemistry in apleasing fashion.<br />Where we can take it up a gear is in the checking of our ideas and those of others, but this doesn't usually happen because people are, more often than not, trained not to communicate as well as encouraged to see good communication as a bad thing. It's because of this that I don't think it's correct to say that people want to communicate generally. They are avoiding it as they have been trained to do. How else to explain the lack of people responding to Obama's information of 'change' with 'what kind of change?'. In a decent communicative situation, this question would then be answered by "I'm gonna ramp up the war in Afghanistan!", to which might be sensibly said, "Well you can get lost then."<br /><br />However, let's take 'a cry from the heart' as our starting point. Could you elaborate on this please?R Reagan Jnrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3537291181786154235.post-52394109476264506282009-04-27T21:57:00.000+01:002009-04-27T21:57:00.000+01:00Communication could be defined as many things.
M...Communication could be defined as many things. <br /><br />Mostly - in my humble opinion - it's a cry from the heart. Because so few people listen to us, we all shout louder in different ways.<br /><br />Some are lucky that they are heard, others say that they couldn't care less if they are heard or ignored. Ultimately it's the voice of one crying in the wilderness.Myeralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00980212065563161388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3537291181786154235.post-74324944682229719452009-04-27T21:12:00.000+01:002009-04-27T21:12:00.000+01:00How can you say that Nancy?

For some, it's purely about 'Listen to me!' while for others it might partly be about 'Let's hear what you have to say, and then listen to what I have to say.'<br /><br />I'm occasionally prepared to change my point of view if I'm persuaded by another human, whereas many people are not.
