I love communication too. Collectively we understand less and less of how it's done. I would have to agree that I am of the opinion that it's the cause of some of our more serious problems.
I would also like to appreciate open unfiltered sharing, as it is all but absent in my personal life. Every one holds back and silences themselves, or goes much too far and speaks of things they dont even mean. I think the crisis with many of us is actually from within too. And shouldn't always be shrugged off as fault of the other. Communication with oneself is the height of communication as it helps all other forms of sharing.
