“What we have here,” said Cool Hand Luke, “is a failure to communicate.”
Sometimes the problem doesn’t lie in what we say, or even how we say it.
Sometimes the problem is in the noise surrounding the signal.
Sometimes we hide our message, hoping it blends in and doesn’t offend anybody.
Sometimes we have neglected the trust between the “sign” and the “driver,” and life has overgrown between us.
Nearly always, someone has recognized the problem, but decided that it’s not their job to fix it.
Communication isn’t just about the message. It’s also the clarity between sender and receiver.
