Universal language, to me I think the one language that is universal is love. With love anything is possible, I think there is an old saying that says about the same thing. There are a lot of levels in love a lot of different kinds- compassion, kindness, empathy, happiness... if you are walking down a street in Italy or stumbling thru an airport in Germany all you need to know to get some help is a smile. How do we communicate with each other on a daily basis in situations that are unfamiliar. How do you know if the person sitting opposite is someone you should fear or help. It is possible to find a lot out about someone without ever saying a word to them. You can see if they look friendly or not, do they have a smile on there face or do they looked ticked. love is what allows us humans to live together, it is the basis for all that we have ever done or said if it wasn't for love what reason would we have to say anything.
