SourceMiscommunication is the number one cause of all problems; communication is your bridge to other people. Without it, there's nothing. So when it's damaged, you have to solve all these problems it creates.

Have you ever wondered why the Hive communities have the same rules that state “Write in English?” I am very sure it won’t be much fun for others if I write only in my native dialect without an English translation to back it up knowing fully there will be a high level of misinterpretation if I did.
Everyone believes himself or herself a communicator and when asked, “Are you a communicator?” They answer yes with reasons to back up their claim. But I ask you, “are you truly a communicator?”
Many do not know what the term communication entails, to them, words just need to be said. But we fail to realize that for communication to take place, the listener or receiver has to be put in mind which many of us fail in, hence giving power to miscommunication and the power to miscommunication is the act of not saying some part of the Golden words when mistakes are made. The inability to say ” Sorry, I misunderstood your words or intentions" has broken and wrecked lots of Ships in life which shatters the Unity among us.
For good communication to take place, both parties have to be free and let go of their pride if it comes to that. The act of being hard-headed in solving little matters which was ignored will escalate things and make matter worse leaving both parties in plain misery and not knowing what arose the problem in the first place.
Why give power to miscommunication when it disrupts one’s peace of mind, changes one’s mood, and ruins any sort of happiness that may occur? Why hurt ourselves deeply when we can talk things out immediately after they occurred? Why allow all these when we can converse instead of talking endlessly?
Lots of homes have been broken because of the power given to miscommunication. The act of not wanting to be the first person to say Sorry or fix things because you may be term Weak has damaged and sank lots of sailing ships.
No one is getting younger, we are all growing and one day, when we are left alone, memories of things we’ve done would be what we will be left with. I do not know why we complicate things for ourselves when we can just come clean, it is hard, I know, but isn’t it worth it if it will give you the peace of mind your life desire?
You see statements like this, "but they were beautiful together, they were worth emulating, and they were great together I yearn so badly to be like them" is lost. And then, what happened to them? Why use but and were to classify them? I ask you, dearest readers, what happened to those late-night conversations they had, what happened to fix things when it occurs, what happened to the peace and love among them, what happened to saying the truth instead of lying? Just like a statement like this:
“Mom, I will be at Tracy’s tonight and will not make it home" and staying at Tracy's instead of being with James which could have been let out. What happens when something bad happened and then it was found that she wasn’t where they expected her to be? As a parent what will be your first reaction?
Communication goes a very long way if we feed it right and that does not mean mistakes won’t be made, but fixing it when it happens gives full power back to communication.
They are parents out there who chose their son's and daughter's profession in life mainly because they weren’t able to fulfill theirs and they believe it is best for their children but have you sat them down and truly communicated with them on what they would want to be and instead of thrashing their wants, why not communicate with them and have them understand things by also helping with theirs.
Communication isn’t all about talking and talking endlessly without having your audience in mind but more of listening and understanding things from their point of view too.
Are you going to continue feeding miscommunication and giving endless power to it? Why not communicate freely and raise the damaged and sunk ship from the deepest ocean by having it fixed?
Remember, life can only be lived once, and also remember that no one knows tomorrow even when we pray endlessly to see each sunrise, many still weren’t able to see it, then why waste one’s precious time hurting on things that can be fixed? Where is that true love that overrides all egos? You know I saw a friend's status saying, “Love is for the weak” and it got me questioning, "Is God weak then?" As the Bible states, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son." But does that term Him weak? The miscommunication people have about love is just too high up especially in this era which brings in another question, can we say our mothers are weak too for the unconditional love shown toward us?
My response is that Love makes one stronger and it is a beautiful thing that can never be tainted with hypocrisy, lies, doubts, and other negativity in life. Love is positive and when that love is put into communication, we find life more beautiful than we thought.
Remember they won’t be cause for war if we can communicate rightly which brings in this question, “Are you ready to communicate?”
Let peace reign and stop the killing of people’s dreams by learning the act of communicating rightly..
