The Importance Of Direct Communication

The ability to socialize enables humans to become better in contact with each other. Our eyes study facial expressions with body movement and in cooperation with language and context of a situation, we can better comprehend what it means to truly understand an individual and their thoughts. There are several ways humans can go about trying to make sense of another person’s reality such as relating to an event through personal experience or simply just understanding emotion, but is it different when we relate to a non-human character? We can empathize with living creatures because we can identify life in that organism and make connections, in one way or another, to determine what that organism is feeling. Yet, when empathizing with an object such as a rock, it becomes hard to connect with that entity unless we give it human traits that suddenly makes the rock more “alive”. We need to have apparent traits that act like bridges in order to better understand direct communication. The methods of how we put ourselves in another’s place are like gateways and I will explain how we can relate to others in a higher degree by comparing integration of another’s

This is why the method by relation of analogies falls short because empathy takes into account of what also manifests inside your own mind. Sure we can relate to other individuals but how would we act if we placed ourselves in their situation? This is where integration of thought goes out further than Russell’s
