Thought and feelings are not the same, although they can occur at the same time. In communicating with thought, I often use images and pictures. For this reason, thoughts are more effective than mere words as tools of communication. In addition to feelings and thoughts, I also use the vehicle of experience as a grand communicator. And finally, when feelings and thoughts and experience all fail, I use words.
Words are really the least effective communicator.
They are most open to misinterpretation, most often misunderstood. It is because of what words are. They are symbols. They are not Truth. They are not the real thing.
