Communication Over Comprehension?!
<p>I used to think communication was the key until I realised comprehension is!&nbsp;</p><p>Communication is exchanging information, ideas, or even thoughts between ourselves, while comprehension is actually understanding that information or messages we are receiving.. being able to interpret that message into what we clearly understand. Its just like the food we consume, it digest in the body, it provides the body with what it needs, but as for when communication isn't digested it doesn't stay with us, it doesn't do what its supposed to do.</p><p><br></p><p>Are we really understanding what we hear? The messages we are receiving?! Or we are just "hearing and not listening", staring at the person's face or shoes without actually listening, because I believe listening is getting to understand what you hear, following up with it.</p><p><br></p><p>You know, a person can actually communicate all they want with you but if you don't understand what that person is saying then that's just same thing as saying "you heard nothing at all" you weren't listening.. its like silent chaos"</p><p><br></p><p>Its just like taking lectures, the lecturer communicates, but do the students comprehend?&nbsp;</p><p>Its like having a chat with someone, they send you messages but do you comprehend it?!</p>
communicate listen understand
