communication is unlikely, it seems.

even though i can't remember who said it (been a long while), i can't agree more: communication is unlikely. if everything, even the silence, is communication, meanings are bound to get lost in translation sooner or later. and then we start fearing what should never be feared, as we learn to read between the lines of what is being said or done. communication is unlikely. how are we supposed to know if we're getting it all right? how are we supposed to be sure? i guess the answer for both questions is we aren't. but then misunderstandings arise, and what was so simple suddenly turns into a bunch of tangled, barbed wire. it is so easy to fall into this... and so hard to get out of it, once you get there.
