Words.
What a wonderful invention. We can combine them to assist thinking and communicate our thoughts to others.
I forget the movie, but I remember the line—“What we have here is a failure to communicate.”
Sometimes the words just come out wrong (to paraphrase a song from somewhere). We thought we said one thing, but somehow it came out another.
I offer this thought.
“Communication is about what is received, not what is intended. If there is a gap between what you are saying and what they are hearing, you have to find a new way to say it.”
