Confused Speech
Come let us go down and confuse their language, so that they may not understand
Genesis 11:7
Language barrier is the most unforgivable thing that can ever happen to oneself, as hard as it is to express yourself when you don't understand the language it is even more tragic when you fall in love with somebody who does not speak your language, especially when their understanding of English is limited.
So does it mean I cannot love you if you don't speak the language I speak????
I guess as individual we are different and having said that the answer to that question I live to everyone of you to personally answer to. To my opinion we are all different in an unique and wonderful way and all we can do is celebrate our differences by embracing change and accepting other people.
The past week I had the most stupid fight ever with a dear friend all because of the language barrier,We went out for drinks with a couple of friends and when it was getting late we headed back home - "let me know when you get home" a few minutes later I was at my door step and remembered I was meant to tell somebody that I arrived safe so I decided to do it the way we do it down where i come from
I sent a text "......." i typed his name expecting that he will text back with something like "hey" then i would say i am at home, well little did i know that was like the biggest mistake ever, I am still not sure how he understood the text all i got was " why did you text my name, you should have just said you are home I am a very simple person and these things are really unnecessary" that was like the most painful punch to date right in the face, in any case what I am trying to point out is although we are different and speak a whole lot of different languages if we are ready to accept and understand one another nothing can stand on our way not even the language barrier all that is needed is to be willing to understand other people don't only expect to be understood when you are not willing to understand other people sometimes it's not even about the language it's about what kind of a person you are...
