聽神談【「神與人溝通」的四種工具】:3/4 篇
語言真的是效果最差的溝通工具。
它們最容易招致錯誤的詮譯,最容易被誤解。
為何會那樣呢?那是因為語言本質所是的問題。
語言只是發音(utterances):代表感受、思維和經驗的噪音。
(noises that stand for feelings, thoughts, and experience)
它們是象徵符號、記號、標誌。
它們並非真相。並不是真實的東西。
語言可以幫助你了解某件事,經驗卻使你更明白。
摘自《與神對話 I》第一章
Words are really the least effective communicator.
They are most open to misinterpretation, most often misunderstood.
And why is that? It is because of what words are.
Words are merely utterances: noises that stand for feelings, thoughts, and experience.
They are symbols. Signs. Insignias. They are not Truth. They are not the real thing.
Words may help you understand something. Experience allows you to know.
