Isn't expressing oneself an art?
So true is this quote-
"People often feel something but express something else.They mean something but say something else..So learn the art of saying nothing in such a way that it leaves nothing unsaid…"
I wonder what results in most misunderstandings? Is it by expressing oneself or one's inability to do so? And does the ability to express depends on the grip over language, mode of communication,inherent willingness to make the communication ambiguous or the fear within?
Many a times, inspite of the willingness to do something, we end up doing the contrary, we really do not mean certain things, and just say things out of irritation, and it results in mis-communication. At times, things turn out very differently than we have wanted it to. Does the grip over the language of communication that differentiates between the two people expressing themselves differently? Is the "power of words" so important?
Or is it the mode of communication which matters too. I have immense experience of miscommunications through text chats/online chats. But, have seen, time and time, the mis-communications that happen even over a face to face conversation.
Why is there is a difference in the ability to people to xpress themselves? What can be an ideal way to express oneself?
(So thoughful is Airtel's tagline- Express Yourself!)
When one talks about communication or expression I would certainly say g-talk sucks... it has the potential of creating a lot of misunderstanding..
