What do you make of "If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal"?

I find at least a partial truth in it-- that communication is at least made much more difficult if there's no good will, though I think an assumption of good will by the listener is at least as important as actual good will from the speaker.
