Importance of communication

“Sumer” meaning “the land of civilized kings” which fell under the mighty Persian empire, under the united of Mesopotamia (modern day Iraq) was where the first spoken tongue came out of named “Sumerian”, this was roughly in the 3rd millennium BC, but the idea of how vital it is to channel what you are thinking in your head to the other person came much earlier  than that, the roots of it date back to pre-history, man thought of it before he made fire, Imagine Adams frustration when he first saw Eve and he wasn’t able to tell her what he was thinking.
One must accept how far things have gotten, recent developments on social media have shown us new dimensions of what words can do, at a time when they matter the most, at a time when cynicism over rules optimism. Could we call it a modern day miracle? Who would have thought that it would be at twitter that a trend like #whatsthelink would be a global sensation coming out of Pakistan with millions of people guessing the links? Is this God’s intervention which we all were waiting for, to tell us the extent a human mind could reach when he develops the will to achieve what he wants, in our case it was freedom of speech that we wanted, no boundaries exist now, no race exists, we are all one, the crying mother in Gaza could make herself heard, the anti-social Romeo can finally tell her how much he loves her, the secretly enthusiast housewife could finally display her lawn designs online, the commercial spit upon musician could upload his way of expression.
Imagine a world without communication? Imagine a world without expression? Imagine a world without Shakespeare, Imagine a world without Faiz Ahmed Faiz, without the ‘I love yous’ and ‘I hate yous’, a world without the Jimi Hendrix. I have always believe that we are the most unthankful race in the all of animal kingdom ,we have today the most priceless gift with us and what we do with it is, Complain, all the time. Let’s choose to use our words more wisely, lets choose to communicate love and peace stead of hatred and anger, our lives have limited durations but our words could heard forever.
