incomplete

blogs.  txt's.  phone calls.  post-mail.  even in-person conversates - are incomplete. they need each other for a balanced diet of experience; of perception, of perspective.

it occurs to me (well not just now but always) that each of us may forget this incompleteness of the immediate medium.  communication is difficult enough and then to convolute it with incomplete devicery; madness.

looking at this blog, sampling the stuffs i've shared over it's life, there is a bent perspective - an incomplete one on who i am.  but what can someone know if this is all they have to guage our connection by?

it is usually sampled to say that "if aliens came down and examined what humanity leaves behind, what would they think?"  but unfortunately for the aliens, like so many ologists have come to know - large numbers or evidence is needed for observation to hope to understand what is being discovered.

blog or twit, we tend to share the points in life, but what of the scarps? what of the plains?
not so much.  and so those riches are lost on discovery.  and huge gaps are created.
even in-person this can happen. where words can be taken too sharply - too seriously with absolute designs, or preassigned and unwavering definition.  conversations should have an organic tandem.  the word usually used is "understanding" as in "one should go into an argument/conversation with understanding." 
but like many sayings, this is incomplete.

"keep an open mind" is a good saying as well.  empathy is a good word.

but ultimately it's not about words or concepts to glom onto, we are organic creatures- that is our nature. our behaviour and needs are likewise- organic.  moving with that aspect of our nature yields much. fighting against it may produce some measure of results, even greatly-    for a time;    but over the balance of our lives, our fantastic is diminished.

sometimes our words come out like badly-compressed files or old magnetized floppy disks; they're there but mostly just noise and gibberish.  we are left confused and perhaps frustrated because not only is our brain unable to fulfill it's outward expression but it cannot reflect on the articulated word. the benefit of articulating abstract thought is lost when our words just don't agree with tongue.
