You'd think that there's plenty of room for being lost in translation. I'm a Transistor from English to Irish, so I know what I'm talking about.
I speak three Languages: Irish, English and French. In that order. Communication is to getting to know people. There is good communication and bad communication. You can make people feel happy, sad, warm, calm.
Open minded communication is a skill in itself. I don't like negativity in a conversation if it isn't balanced with positivity. We are the channel of communication we choose to be. That comes from inside out not the other way around as people might think. The Language we use in life takes over our life without us knowing it and we think that is the right Language to use rightly or wrongly. It affects everything we do in life good and bad. I'm no different. The relationships I have with things, money and people are no different.
I can't form an open minded relationship with people without something going wrong. It is sad that we can't have continuity of open mindedness in life.

12/20/2025I agree that negativity in a conversation must be balanced with positivity. Life is difficult as it is and we don't need to add more negativity to it. It's not about what happens to us as much as it is about how we react to what happens to us.
You said "I can't form an open minded relationship with people without something going wrong" - can you give an example?

12/20/2025What I meant was my relationships end in arguing, because of lack of empathy, respect, love, equality.

12/15/2025Communication is very important and you pointed out a lot with what goes into that. I was an English major in college and we learned a lot about the different uses for language and communication. Good job!

12/11/2025This is so true. No matter what language a Person speaks, if they aren't a good at communicating they have a basic flaw.
Loved this.

12/11/2025Some people write a book and say absolutely nothing. You write several, meager paragraphs, but the message is both powerful and full of inherent wisdom.
