Being a Southeast Asian myself, I
can say people in my part of the world and East Asia are culturally masters of
non-verbal communication. I like it how it is being played in movies and
television series. You can watch movies were the lead actors are already in
love without saying “I love you.” They don’t even have to kiss and have sex. And
yet, love is so beautifully expressed in other ways. That’s what I like about
Asian movies or TV series, love does not necessarily need to be vocalized… it
makes it more mysterious and beautiful. Are we saying here that we will keep on
guessing what the other is trying to convey? Yes and no, yes to some degree
because we need to be more sensitive and perceptive and no because without us
fully knowing, our heart will know it because love is beyond verbal language.
Non-verbal communication I think
just affirms the fact that we are not just physical human beings but spiritual
as well. If the physical can convey words and certain specific actions, the
spirit communicates something else that physical body cannot because of its
limitation.
Becoming more sensitive and
perceptive is a gain; it makes us a person of depth in a world of shallowness.
