Communication
Why is it that sometimes communication just seems so very difficult?
I feel like I've been given red and green light bulbs to communicate an intricate message to a paranoid and volatile colour blind audience.
The message in my head has nothing to do with the jargon that somehow escapes my mouth when I open it. The jargon has nothing to do with the garble the other person hears. And to make matters worse, the heard garble is translated into the worst possible scenarios in the brain of the receiver.
Sending:

|
Jargon
|
Garble
|
Worst case scenario
Receiving:
Worst case scenario
|
Aggravated Jargon
|
Hostile Garble
|
IMPENDING DOOM

IMPENDING DOOM
Naturally the distortion pattern accelerates exponentially as the number of communication attempts increases.
I'm gonna sing the doom song now.

"A frequent problem with communication is the illusion that it has been achieved".
Language is such an imperfect tool. Why don't we just fuck instead?
Cupcake, you don't say much - but what you do say is bang on the money.
