Think about it. How many people can you name right now, that you feel, currently have a misunderstanding of something you said. That is communication breakdown #1.
Alright lets take it further, how many of your family members do you speak to on a regular basis? Mom, dad, bro, sis; check, check, check, check. What about your aunt, uncles, and cousins? People used to talk to them at least weekly. Form personal testimony, I do not remember the last time I’ve spoken to some of my cousins and a few of them I’ve even never met. (granted I understand my family’s situation is unique.)
That brings me to friendships. These are the people we get to choose to keep in our lives. How often do we truly communicate with them? I mean it is so easy to do. But I can think of at least on person whom I still like to call a friend, that I have not communicated with in over a year!
So here are my hypothesis’:
· Is communication so easy to do that we take it for granted?
· Have we busied our lives to the point of neglecting to communicate?
· Do we feel that checking up on someone through someone or something else is communicating? (for all of those myspace & facebook users, visiting someone’s page w/o leaving a comment or message, is just visiting, no communicating).
· Do we feel that our society allows us to have an excuse for communication breakdown?
What do you think?
