Why do I say the exact same "How are you?" to every single person I see? It is always said in the same tone of voice, at the same volume, and the same level of sincerity. However, when I see someone I know, especially someone that I have known for a long time, I can bypass the superficiality of that greating and step into a level of communication so much deeper and meaningful on both sides.
A mother and child can communicate many things to and from each other long before the child can speak, a pet and their owner can bridge the gap between species and understand quite a lot about one another, but how can someone as simple as man like me find a way to connect beyond the surface with each communication? That is my question for today. How can I, do more than just speak, and truly become a communicator?
I don't think it is all my fault though... The tendency to be closed off, nervous, shy, timid, distrustful, introverted, or just plain disinterested in others plagues most of the human population in one way or another. Even those in the deepest holes behind the largest walls have the ability to be touched by something though, whether it be music, a smile, a hug, someone to listen, or someone who can see past the problems to the person weighed down by it all they long in some way for communication.
I hope to find a way to communicate in a deeper way to everyone I see, not just those who I have always known, but to those who would by known if only someone would take the time to communicate beyond the instant superficiality of this generation.
Food for thought. Thanks for reading.
