Communication is definitely key. It’s primary to understanding.
The understanding is so important, but it’s only possible if the things that need to be understood are communicated.
What’s obvious to one person can be obscure to another.
So without communicating, one could end up expecting understanding of something that‘s unknown to someone else, which isn’t really fair, regardless of what it is. Communication isn’t pointless, it’s kind of the point. Or, to keep with the metaphor, communication is the key that unlocks the door to understanding and comprehension.
It happens often that I watch a movie or read a book that I don't quite understand. It is only as I move on in life, i understand them. It's not just with things I don't understand but everything else as well.
I find myself interpreting the same sentence differently at different points in my life and i think it's absolutely beautiful.
no need to over explain or defend yourself! everyone’s living in their own reality bubble and it’s a miracle we can communicate at all! we will all be misunderstood by someone at some point and that’s fiiiiiine
