The Language of Human Nature
My journey for exploring the complexity of human nature is still going on in different stages. The first phase was wandering in the wonderland of human nature, the second phase was booking places under the sun of human nature and this is the 3rd phase about the language used by people in mundane interaction.
The Language of Human Nature
Nowadays it is notable to hear people complain about problems while dealing with each other, so let us analyze the reasons behind the problems of the language interaction of human nature.
In my perspective, human interaction is one of the most complicated processes that take place on various level starting from the individuals, passing by the social groups and end with global nation interaction.
This is mainly because unlike kingdoms of other creatures on planet Earth, the language of human nature implemented in these kinds of interactions has its own different levels of communication; starting with spoken language, passing by the body language and ending with the acts which is a language too from my perspective. Hereby, if we try to analyze how language reflects the various types interactions on different levels, we shall discover the the following two factor.
The Con Factor
I see these problems are directly proportional to the how we implement our saying plus doings with other humans in whatever situation according to the only two cases of conjugation and contradiction alternatively.
- Case 1 – Conjugation: This case means what you say is moving in parallel with what you do in different situations. Hereby, the resultant force of both sayings and doings is a positive one that gives you a straight-forward push that allows you to gain credibility among people. In other words, this means to rank as trustful and honest personality that people can rely on.
- Case 2 – Contradiction: This case means what you say is just contradicting with what you do in different situations. Hereby, the resultant force of both sayings and doings is a negative one as each force is trying to gain control on the other which cause confusion for the people dealing with you and this decrease your credibility till the point you loose it. In other words, this means to rank as untruthful and dishonest.
Here you find the con as a common factor among the two cases yet they are merely contradicting each other and lead to total different destinations. Nevertheless, I have to mention that I mean by “sayings” both what you say and believe in; hence it is not only the spoken language whereas “doings (or actions)” means both what you and your body do; hence it is not only the actions but your body language too.
These two mentioned cases reveal the state of balance and unbalance which I have mentioned in the second stage of this wandering so indeed; People are different in perspectives due to the unique personality of each human being plus many other factors; however there is always a common ground that we can meet within to interact.
In a nutshell, people cannot discover or understand each other unless clarity is the keystone or else everything will be dimmed; this is – by the way – one of the cornerstones of the Islamic faith which Muslims are ought to follow; being honest and clear people and this is the core of the language of human nature. Moreover, since we are humans who have minds not merely brains therefore we can model a bridge or a wall among each other, hence it is all our hands and the choice is ours!

You are right Hecham, I can say also that each head have his own world, some times we say good and do wrong, but it doesn’t mean that we are bad people! some people put shells around them not to let others know what they really are! this has nothing with language.
March 2nd, 2009 @ 14:08
Hesham, I know what you mean and got your point.
Bad vs. Good is another subject that I might talk about in a future post but simply it’s the attitude of people themselves regardless the situation. Hereby I meant the communitation with others which need the language.

Great to see you back writing again after a break of a couple of months.
I really like that last sentence “we can model a bridge or a wall among each other” – so true! Walls get on the way, prevent free movement and are hard to see through while bridges take us places we couldn’t otherwise reach.
But how much easier it is to build walls rather than bridges! We only need to put the bricks one on top of the other. Bridges require much greater effort and greater skill!
I enjoyed your post!

Ian, That’s another excellent insight for what I mean
Just place obstacles in the way and complain about not being able to pass; that’s the core of the problem in the light of what you said and I mentioned in the post.

It is hard to listen to someone and take them seriously if their actions contradict their words. I think another problem with communication is when you are trying to communicate with someone who does not have an open mind, the types who are already closed off from hearing new ideas.

@Kikolani: Exactly, Kikolani. You feel that he/she is a lair and thus anything goes after this is just nonsense.

We have a word means “the purposive wrong expression”, Language is such a complex tool!

Hi, this is my first time commenting so I would like to begin by saying, what an interesting blog. I like the point you make about if our actions and words are expressing the same sentiment(hopefull good) then we gain credibility. I physically can’t listen to some people when I know how hypocritical they are, in their deeds expressing one action and the words another, perhaps this isn’t the right reaction from me but I find it hard to bear it. Anyways thanks again.

Very insightful post, Hicham.
As humans we are lucky enough possess many
forms of communication, but I feel that
many of my pupils (I’m a tutor) have no
interest in using their minds – and
therefore communication – at all.

@Duni: Duni, I know what you mean however don’t you think that this is because they are still young? I mean we deal with them from our perspective as adults? Maybe and maybe not.

In order to have good communication skills, frequent practice is a must. Every time we use our minds on thinking what we shall say and write, the task of communicating becomes easy and effortless. Our minds also become sharper.

@Rose | Nuviderm: Exactly Rose. Thanks for the insight.

Hi
I suppose then, essentially, successful interaction is a function of our authenticity. This is an area that I feel is often so difficult to cultivate and maintain throughout all of one’s dealings. Especially when people are faced with such hectic and stressful lives – not making excuses though.

@LifeMadeGreat | Juliet: I agree with you, Juliet and that what makes me always wondering.

interesting post. I see quite a lot of people whom you call “contradiction”, and I still don’t understand why they did that.

@lovelyrainbow1: Your question might be answered within a future post, LovelyRainbo!

Like you, I also think that before understanding how we interact with others, we need to be able to acknowledge how we use the language ourselfs, and reflect on the roots before they establish themselfs in action. Ultimatetly it’s about acknowledging who we are behind the language, and having the freedom to express our choices, with others.

You hit the nail, Ana. It’s all about a solid base of understanding our differences and know how to deal with it.
