Why Do Misunderstandings Happen?
Misunderstandings are frustrating and emotionally painful. Why do they even happen? Why cannot all human communication be transparent and problem-free. I believe that it is important to see misunderstandings not as a glitch, but as a norm of human interactions. To me, it's amazing that people are actually able to "speak the same language", set a achieve common goals together.
1) Misunderstandings happen because we are human beings equipped with ingenuous but imperfect senses and brains.
2) Misunderstandings happen because each person has unique traits and experiences.
3) Misunderstandings happen because we cannot directly download our experiences, sensations, emotions and thoughts into another person, like sending data from one computer to another. We need to use language, which is a form of media, and as such a useful but imperfect tool.
