Communicating has been a part of human DNA since the beginning of time.
We have billions of synapses that have developed over thousands of generations specifically to interact with other people.
Cavemen did it, 
pirates did it. 
Babies do it all time .
Whomever we connect with outside of our own head has the potential for communication, including families, communities, jobs, social media, internet, our government.
As we have created new tools to increase the speed at which we communicate, we are very likely to make even more 
mistakes.
We’re bound to screw up once in a while! There’s really no way to avoid it! AAAAaaa!! Panic!!!!!
The real question is “So now what?”
“The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be constantly fearing you can make on.” Elbert Hubbard
The fundamental truth is, we are designed to communicate with each other.
For better or for worse, the exchange of ideas will never stop. Ever.
I think the best we can hope for is grace, focus and resilience as we walk this high-wire of communication.
We can find that still, quiet place within us that holds the key to why we even try to communicate outside ourselves.
Because this is our gift. Within the challenge of everyday life lies our our opportunity to connect, support and commiserate with other people. To reach out and try to make a difference in the life of someone else. To feel loved, respected and important to a fellow human being. To feel like we’re doing what we’re supposed to be doing with the people we’re doing it with. To sustain ourselves with the knowledge that our actions and intentions are worthwhile and ultimately fruitful.
To make the connections we’re meant to make, in order to fulfill our purpose, because without communication, there’d be no connections.
