Communication
Communication… what would we ever do without it? It’s no secret that ever since the existence of man has been recorded, along with it has been recorded a form of communication. Whether it is a drawing on a cave wall, or just plain pointing and grunting, communication has been omnipresent throughout civilization.
Why just the other day my friend and I had this argument over a pizza toping, he said oregano and rock salt really enhanced the pizza’s flavor, while I disagreed. If a neutral and non biased observer would watch the scene unfold, he would have nothing but this to say, “fellows calm down, you both have different tastes, and to each his own.’ In retrospect I would have said the same too. But then I realized, this wasn’t about something as trivial as a pizza topping. This was about our egos, and the topic was just a medium to debate about whose was bigger. Freud had stated that men do have a rather odd fixation on the size of things…
Indirectly we were communicating to each other, about who is more superior (these are the things that make me wonder whether the juvenility in me is my perpetual boon and bane). Think, try to analyze and maybe even decode the message and signals the other individual is sending. If an asinine altercation over a pizza topping could have such a concealed motive behind it, just think of the possibilities.
Things I discovered today, Communication is multi dimensional… and that my friends and I really need to start playing sports!! I mean Pizza topping… That’s Lame! :P
