Why is communication so important?
If you think about it, communication has been the basis of the progress of humanity. Things like writing, poems, history, science, relations between communities, and many other things have been able to exist just because communications and language have been there to make it happen. Nowadays is harder to see the importance of good communication, especially because we tend to take things for granted. Therefore, now we tend to give more relevance to other things and that does not mean communication has stopped, not at all. Is just that now we have become lazy and sometimes even weaponize communication. As much as communications can create, they can also destroy. Examples of that are easier to see in families or even just in relationships like friends and romantic relationships, even in professional relationships. The only difference I think is that in friendly, professional, and early romantic relationships we tend to communicate in a better way to show that we are good people. But it can happen. So we are going to talk about how to improve communication on the most important relationships, because I think is most important to see examples in that, and you can interpolate the same ideas to any kind of relationship.
In a family, I think the hardest part is to identify who is wrong and who is right. But behind that, the real issue is that pride will always support you, but not the other person involved. For example, in the style of senior and junior companions, they have to work together. The reality is that most people dislike the idea of this style because everyone has experienced bad things with this or even threatens the ego and status of one of the two. But if you think about it, the senior and junior style is not necessarily a bad method, the problem is that is mostly performed in a bad way. The role of the senior companion is to coordinate, facilitate information, ask and ponder together. that would be a different scenario. But there are several styles, it could S/J, C|C, or even C=C. Meaning S/J senior and junior, C|C dividing duties and not interfering with the other, C=C were they are working together. All of them have their strengths and weaknesses but are beautiful empowered when it been performed by righteous people, but they can also be dangerously empowered by non-righteous people.
Some of the things we can do to resolve discussions when things get heated or just to improve the communication are, to be more empathetic, avoid pride take control, respond with kindness, and point out positive things. Imagine if in an argument you respond with things like "I know, what I said is not necessarily kind, you must feel not heard." That would create a whole new environment. Imagine during an argument with your spouse about doing things fast after work because you want to have time to relax, now imagine how if you do not let your pried go on and stop and connect with your spouse. Imagine how effective it would be to cool off an argument with a kind word like saying "I know I might have a mixed feeling now, but I love you for making me think twice about things." Imagine responding to your spouse with " I know I might have ruined your night at inviting more people, but it kind of flatters me the fact that you want to spend the night with me."
communication is vital for a strong and healthy life. But is also really important for us to experience and put into practice those things to make us progress more quickly.
