Finding ways to communicate

Communication sucks.
It is hard.
But, we all have to do it. SO, we keep trying to find new ways to do it.
We make up whole language systems to have enough in common with other people that we can communicate. Religion, politics, countries, laws, pop music, fashion, sports, brand names... Then we take those simple and basic terms we invented to be abl to identify with each other on a superficial or not, depending, level... and we interpret them and reinterpret them and personally apply them until each person's version is so different that we have to find some other way of identifying with each other and communicating.
So, people in the modern world are running around doing everything just as long as it takes them to "make it their own" but then they are alone with it... alone again... so they pick something else up.
It is like a huge buffet of life choices and ideas....

sometimes it looks like that...
Sometimes though I just wish I could be someone's apprentice... stop trying to "make things my own" and wait until I gt the knowledge personally passed down, and experince has been gained... then, maybe then I could make something my own, after years of having it be shared... but at that time I would probably be ready to pass it on to someone else....
I'm not saying the whole world should work like that... it can't these days... the world is too small... there are too many people.... but... for some things... it would be nice.

Just think of the great combinations... alex the great and aristotle... famous painters and ..other painters... socretes and aristotle... if i were more educated i bet I could name hundreds...
