People have come up with a load of languages, spoken and
unspoken, in order to communicate. The spoken ones lead in
"efficiency", that is with humans. It is the easiest to understand
and the quickest way to send a message to the recipient, that's why (Western)
evolution has strengthened this method of communication. Or is it the quickest
way? It is interesting to think though whether there are many more ways of
communicating that we are yet to know about... Elephants communicate through
tummy rumbling but also telepathically. Talking, in my opinion, is the most
difficult way to communicate in many cases. Sometimes we twist the message
deliberately, for whatever reason. We use the language to not to communicate
what is really needed to be said. Maybe we don't want to hear what is said and
contest the message. Maybe if we communicated like elephants, there would be no
need for interpreting. The message would be exactly what it is. You cannot
misinterpret tummy rumble and mind messaging. Or can you? Better not to leap
conclusions, eh?
I like visual language. This is my message. If
you want to comment, do it by pictures.
