Humans have lots of thoughts every second (I’m sure there’s an estimated number of thoughts per second but I’m feeling too lazy to google it right now, but there are a lot of thoughts). And the only person that knows about these thoughts is the person thinking them.<\/p>\n

Until they share these thoughts. Until they communicate.<\/p>\n

So in theory, if a person can have hundreds of different thoughts in a short space of time, they might end up at an entirely different end point having started at the same place as you.<\/p>\n

In just a few minutes.<\/p>\n

Now compound this over days, months or years. Across different work environments, different people, different scenarios. All while having different backgrounds.<\/p>\n

This makes it very easy to end up on a different page to someone. You could think things are perfectly okay about a situation while your friend is having an internal meltdown.<\/p>\n

Ideally, we could transmit the entire thought process to one another so that we know what’s going on.<\/p>\n

Until then, we need to make an active effort to communicate.<\/p>\n
