Are words an effective form of communication...?

Languages, words…these are not effective forms of communication at all…

Someone can say something to a person, have something else in their mind, and it might mean something totally else…and the other person can totally take it in another way, based on their own thoughts…Theres such a huge gulf between what the speaker is feeling and what they think the listener will perceive of their words and what the listener conceieves the speaker’s words to mean…

Early man did not have a developed language. I wonder if God really meant that language and words be the means of communication between people? I guess so since the Quraan Paak was revealed in Arabic through the angel Jibraael to the Prophet [saw]…but humans still have different interpretations…

What is the means of communication? body language? eyes? What about blind people? What about handicapped people?

Is earnest communication between two human beings even possible?

Communication is the most difficult thing. Had it been easier, we wud not have had so many problems today. All forms of communication are bound to be interpreted as per listeners' bent of mind and their grooming. Today we have much emphasis on communication in our academics, business language is one of the example. In one of my class, our instructor told us to use proper words in report writing because when we were to defend our thesis or words cud be used agains us...sighz

irem,

very good thread. i've been thinking about this lately too.

i've been developing a communication system based on tweets and whistles. right now i have:

tweet-whistle-whistle: you're a jackass/please dont put vinegar in my tuna sandwich.

im covering the basics first, will let u know when im done.

thanks for the replies guys, interesting thoughts :slight_smile:

ravage - :hehe:

tweet.

:snooty:

uh oh, what exactly does a single tweet mean? :D

okay it means “im hungry for some fried chicken” but that was the only other thing in my vocab :bummer:

awww :hehe: Jack in the Box ravage bhai? or how about Denny’s? :smiley:

oops i forgot its amreeka and the chicken wont be halal…

hmmm…in that case…eat a grilled cheese sandwich :yummy:

:frowning:

cheese bhi to nahi na khaa sakta :frowning:

:grumpy:

hum pehle khatay thay lekin phir ek kamina mulla aa gaya usne yaad kara dia kay cheese may bhi ye amriki (non-halal) rennet daal detay hein :frowning:

Lolz at kamina mulla :hehe:

vaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat :eek:

naheen ye naheeeeeeeeeen ho saktaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :eek:

i’ve been eating so much cheese :eek:

lekin all the religious ppl in our MSA used to eat cheese…

r u sure he wasnt a fraud mulla ? laden family ka to nai tha? :hehe:

:teary:

nahi na..

isi liay to chicken nahi khatay.. usi wajah say cheese nahi kha sakte. they all have meat products.

likewise basics like yoghurt etc.

aaj pata chala Taco Bell bhi nahi kha sakte kyu kay unki Sour Cream may pork elements hotay hein ..

:disgust:

:eek:

ravage bhai thats going a bit overboard kasam se

i mean phir banda KHA kya sakta hae aakhir? bhooka mar jayay kia? :hehe:

zinda bhee to rehna hae na :Pagri:

bayshak avoid the meats and pork stuff lekin ab milk products to kha lene chahiyein…i think…Allah o Alim :slight_smile:

sighhhh… bus mat munh khulwao..

:slight_smile:

kher itna bura bhi nahi. (hayy buraa :teary1: )

kuch chizein theek bhi bana letay hein ye angrez. ek adh brands hein yoghurt kay jin may zaroorat mehsoos nahi ki in logon nay ziadti karne ki.

subah sham machli khatay hein ab to. woh bhi ek adh restaurants ki. baqiyon may bhi koi na koi maslay nikaal liay hein.

ab mey na follow karta, lekin agar dil may shak aa jaye, to bandey ko ehtiaat karni hi parti hay. :-/.

is liay shak dalnay walon ko khoob galiyan deta huun.
