Life could be so beautiful if only people were able to "communicate". Communication does not mean only the exchange of news, of information, of facts about one's life. In a broader interpretation, it means a sharing between minds (in the form of thoughts) and spirits (in the forms of feelings). It means talking to another and have their full attention, understanding and empathy. It also means listening to another, giving them your full attention, understanding and empathy. When this kind of "exchange" does not happen, there is no real communication. Each individual remains locked up in their little box of pre-conceived ideas, judgments, selfishness, self-righteousness etc. No "communion of souls", just petty feelings of self-entitlement, of "egoism".
