Barriers to Genuine Understanding

Some people become inaccessible for communication precisely because of fundamental differences in how they perceive the world and entrenched habits that become barriers to true mutual understanding. As noted in one of the sources, each of us perceives things in our own way: "That is, this curtain seems red to me, blue to him, and green to her, but we know that this color is called yellow. If everything is like this, then it turns out that we are completely incapable of understanding each other" (source: 10_49.txt). This means that the natural differences in sensations and interpretations can lead to a situation where even when using the same words, each person hears them in their own way.

Cultural Paradigm as a Perceptual Filter

The cultural paradigm learned in childhood is a powerful filter through which we perceive the world and form our thoughts. At an early age, we absorb specific ways of seeing and interpreting phenomena, which become the basic templates or stereotypes of thinking that govern our view of reality. As noted in one of the sources, "Culture sets the paradigm of thought. By acquiring such a cultural paradigm of thinking in childhood, we look at all the phenomena in the world through it. The adopted paradigm of thought is the most important stereotype we carry within us. For this reason, every one of our thoughts is refracted through the prism of stereotypes. However, they help us in communication by shortening the time required to process information; but in this shortening, the features of the observed phenomenon that do not fit the customary representation are pushed out of the field of consciousness, even though these features may turn out to be the most essential characteristics of the phenomenon."
