Hello Jason C.,Jason B.;) Pablo Andy Oshiro Pln and all, People connect with others in various subtle ways such as sending out signals like facial expressions,hugs,kisses,gestures and all sorts of body movements.
Eyes for one are definitely as Jason C. said the most expressive medium which people are best at. When 2 people can connect without any words is certainly the highest level of communication to me as they can read each other's mind and they feel well at ease in their joint silence.;) As I am writing now,I recall we human possess 5 senses,and the 6th is the most mystic to us,isn't it? There are far too many areas scientists haven't explored or found evidence yet,perhaps in 2209 people will benefit from their discoveries and talk less or more sensibly.LOL Great start of the week,everyone!
