Words, words and more words

Its difficult to imagine a world without words. Imagine you are in a meeting and you didn't have the tool of word to communicate !Sounds bizarre to our verbose ways of the world but I would like to believe that communication in such times would be a fairer representative of our true inner feelings. No rhetorical pleasantries, no over-reactions on a minor accident, no false shows of sympathy through words, words and more words.

If I dig history, I learn that our ancestors didn't have the faculty of language to communicate and they felt shortchanged. Then came words and the rest is history. To that point, I would like to say that evolution for the sake of evolution is not good. I am hoping for a day when all words would have dried up in the minds of the people and only way they could communicate is through facial expressions and body languages !

I have been told by an Italian friend of mine that 40% of communication in Italy is through body language! Sounds fantastic to me but by no means I would imagine that this was the reason for their debt crisis. Government okayed the over spending by shaking the pervert head of Prime Minister whereas it actually wanted to say NO. Far fetched but a possibility.

My education trained mind asks me to think realistically and perform a cost benefit analysis. I think the benefits far outnumber the costs.Here is the list that I can quickly think of :
Benefits
1. Reduction in Noise
2. Honest communication
3. Time saved on unnecessary explanations

Cost
1. The printing world would suffer huge revenue losses
2. The languages will die a natural death
3. The telecom world would be flabbergasted

Well, there is not a day when I thought words are insufficient in expressing the true thoughts so why not just get rid of words, words and more words...

Degree of randomness

There are different aspects of life that fascinate people differently. Something which has caught my fancy of late is the degree of randomness in one's life. Order is against the grain of human life. I think while I pursue for more order in my life , its balancing out one way or the other. God is very good with numbers, he insures that the sum total remains zero.

Spending time with oneself, however rare it has become in the modern lifestyle, opens my eyes to a totally different world where money, position, achievement do not amount to anything. It just tells me what I don't need in my life to be happy or stable, unfortunately it doesnt tell me what I need in life. Frankly, I don't know , living life on a per day basis has it's own set of challenges, the most striking one being, there is nothing to look forward to the day after... And this again adds to the randomness in my life distrubing my personal entropy equation.

I sit in silence with no agenda and after a while it becomes difficult because of lack of structure not just in action but also in thoughts. I know a friend of mine who also chides me for thinking random stuffs and not doing anything about it. To my defense I can only say that I will work my way through it, may be live with it and not necessarily suffer from it ...
