One of my friends has a baby and one day we were discussing communication with the little one. I heard something new and at first completely unbelievable. They were teaching her sign language! Both parents are hearing so why to teach sign language to also perfect hearing children? “Weird”, I wondered, made some research and indeed, there is a sign language just to help the parent to communicate with their babies who cannot yet talk. Hand gestures are used to indicate the parents whether the baby wants to eat, feel too cold or hot or just need some affection. Magic!!

However this made me wonder, how about we developed this further and had universal, not cultural related (is that even possible?), sign language for the basic needs? Language barriers would decrease and the utopia of universal understanding would be a bit closer. More Love Please.
