Silent Communication, Wordless Language

What comes to mind? Music and art-drawings/paintings are what can reach your soul. We don't really need words. I could be playing Beethovan even though I don't understand German and the composer is dead. Even though it's another time, place and age, Beethovan talks to me through his music still. When I saw 2 people using sign language to communicate, I thought we could do away with words. There should be some form of universal communication where words are done away with. Businessmen/diplomats should learn sign language so that interpreters are not needed and miscommunication are lessened to a minimum. Humans talk too much and sometimes say the wrong/weirdest/most comical things.

If I suffer from impairment of sight or hearing, the human touch never fails to caress and soothe the hurting/weary soul. Words, are to a certain extent redundant. As the saying goes, "Action speaks louder than words". I mean literally.
