As a human species we delight in being able to train lesser species about the way we communicate and ignore the wide range of seemingly incomprehensable sounds that those same species use when in their natural habitat. Two very well documented animals that have been the brunt of our own language are the chimpanzees and dolphins, and in both cases we have found that the communication between the animals themselves are far more capable and complex than we previously thought.
Many people do not realise how emotion changes our perception, and there are still people that believe they can present a logical argument when they are emotionally involved. Scientific discovery has confirmed something that centuries of heated argument has proved with experience, that logical ability and emotional involvement are mutually exclusive. The exact reason for this is not quite clear, but it probably has something to do with the way that emotions activate a wide range of brain areas that not only change our perception but also influence our rational ability.
If we take a close look at how we communicate between ourselves and even how we communicate with ourself we may be surprised at how ineffective this communication sometimes is. People are often aware that they did not hear everything in a conversation but they seldom question the fact, either out of fear or conviction.
If communication is then further distorted by the need to translate to another language the risk of being misunderstood become critical, even more so when such a translation needs to take place in the mind of both sender and reciever.
Add to this the fact that we loose our ability to think logically and therefore fail to communicate effectively when we become emotionally charged it could seem that our society is doomed to eternal confusion.
