The Integrity of Good Communication
Without good communication there is little chance.
Little chance, for what? Without good communication there is little chance for high quality relationships, for one. Whether it be friendships, collegial associates, marriage partners, or even general acquaintances, the need to communicate honestly and in good faith is enormous, should an opportunity for growth and advancement be desired. Recalling the last two posts here, constructive work is carried out when people "are" positive (and not pretending to be positive, which ultimately leads to negativity) and have clarity about what they "want" to happen for the good of the cause, rather than desiring something at the expense of another's demise.
Without good communication there is little chance for truly understanding your community. Good relationships with other people require a genuine sense of expressed care and concern. The suspicion of hidden agendas or "playing games" will certainly undermine the prospect of high quality realtionships. If nothing else it will delay the interaction necessary for successfully carrying out any task, regardless of importance and urgency.
Without good communication we endanger our own self-esteem, for we can become confused as to who we really are when we live with the many masks we wear. If others don't know who we are, how will we be able to present ourselves with sincerity and truth?
Should the reader begin to think this post is a recipe for foolproof behavior, stop it. There is no foolproof behavior. Such a prescription would be only, well, foolish. This post is an attempt to simplify and, possibly, tie up the last two posts. Realistically, to err is human. It's the nature of the beast of being a human being. Errors happen. Regrets result. Forgiveness is needed. Restoration is possible, indeed probable, when there is good communciation. There is great integrity in good communication with others, with your conscience, with your soul. Try it. You're worth it. You'll appreciate it. We all need it.
