Whatever it takes .......... communication matters
Is it a dying art? People read yet do not see, people listen yet do not hear,people speak and say nothing.
People send messages that seemingly float into empty spaces: empty places of eyes that read but did not see. Ears that heard but did not hear, the result seem as no response returned to be seen or heard.
People ask for help or a helping hand the offer is always there but nothing is lifted least the helping hand.
For example, the head of a corporation busy at his desk shuffling papers, glancing at the laptop... to type in something, talking to employee across the desk and when the employee said, “I have just thrown two thousand dollars in your rubbish bin, in cash” he did not flinch, continues the conversation, a disjointed one, the employee says “ I have taken the two thousand dollars in cash out of your rubbish bin and it is in my pocket.” the head of the corporation just agrees.
So he heard but did not hear. How can one hear if so busy, attention diverted and talking at the same time. What value of input of conversation does one miss with the diversion of attention.?
The response to an enquiry, or request, the value of that is good business and what a difference it can make in a humans life, it is saying to some-one, you are of value, I recognize and acknowledge you.
Irrespective of technology the question is: has the global communication through internet and other means bought the human race closer or fragmented the social fabric and made the human race more distant from each other, desensitize us to the importance of good conversation and reality of life in our back yard.?
