Story of the imperfect Linguist
“Would it not be so easy if people just said what they were thinking?”, said someone to me.
The thoughts that are running in our minds need to be reasoned and judged before they become words. The mind has the natural freedom to think about people, events, and things we see, hear or feel, and speculate the limitless possibilities that we could turn our daily encounters or even life into.
While only the self is the audience to this vision of possibilities, we control which ones to act upon and let propagate. We express our picks in terms of words to ourselves and others.
Expressing emotions hastily will preempt the experience and interfere with understanding them fully.
When we allow for some quiet to preserve an emotion, it will transition to a meaningful and absolute state. This will be a revealing journey that will give us clarity and conviction.
We are impatient with frustration, anger, and contempt, and express them too soon. But we are scared to let affection, kindness, and valor grow on us; we either consider these as unnecessary or fear misinterpretation.
What we think something will be interpreted as is how it will be interpreted.
Unconsciously the very thought will lead to the expression that communicates that very interpretation. The hardest thing to do is to remain true to your interpretation, so it is conveyed as it is intended to be.
Expression is for the benefit of the other person; when we care for that, we will automatically expose honesty and sincerity allowing a hearty dialogue.
