Hi Janet , IMHO perceptions between humans is like a game between two players . One send a message that he thinks is perfect and the other thinks he receives it perfectly ....(* a transmitter and a receiver ") Now , are words a perfect medium to express moods , feelings , ideas , etc. . ? Maybe so ,but I doubt since it must have its limitations . But even taking for grant that it is a perfect medium , is the sender perfect in the use of the right words ? And more , is the receiver also in perfect state to translate this message exactly as the original intentions many times not perfectly expressed ? Perhaps this may explain why since the dawn of humanity there has been a lot of confusion and misunderstandings that keeps going on till nowadays in any community large or small .
