Communication is the essence of humanity. We strive on linking our thoughts and emotions to another person through commication. Humanity has two core communication methods, verbal and body language. The verbal aspect is abstracted to include sign language and such.
The core issue here is that neither of these methods are sufficient to properly convey the true behind any single communication!
One being can say to another being "I love you." However there is not a solid definition to what that phrase actually means in that instance. Body language utilized, tone, etc can all change the ultimate meaning of the phrase. This is fine when one is trying to be humorous, satirical, or otherwise non-specific.
It isn't fine when one is trying to convey the emotions that exist behind the phrase "I love you." Verbal communication between two people to fully convey the meaning might take a few hours of explanation to understand 3 specific words. Only to result in much more time spent explaining any mispoken verbage during those "few hours" of communication.
This phenomenon ultimately results in beings existing in a world of mis-communication.
Perhaps the ultimate gift that humans could give back to God and humanity is a method of fool-proof communication. An ability to share ones exact thought/emotion in an insant without any miscommunicatoin.
Hmmm.
