Theoretically speaking the same language is all it takes to communicate. Not so if the words don't mean the same things to everyone. Right?

Look up any word in the dictionary and you will find a definition. So once again theoretically the words should mean the same to each of us. But they don't. So we really can't communicate. I say don juan is a liar. His supporters believe he has never lied or he has lied but it doesn't matter. I'm not sure which it is. I say don juan has done illegal things to make himself wealthier. His supporters say if he has so what or no he hasn't done anything he isn't entitled to do. I say he is  corrupt and employs the corrupt to screw we the people and embellish himself. His supporters say no you've got it all wrong. Everything he does is because he is so patriotic. Everything he says is because he loves the people and the country. Obviously there is a SEVERE lack of communication. I think I see clearly. They think they see clearly. Somebody is wearing blinders. Who?  I can't help thinking as I do and the don juan supporters can't help thinking as they do. So are we both at fault or not at fault? Should trying to reconcile the dichotomy end because we will never understand one another? T'is a puzzlement! :(
