Communication Fundamentals 3: Why do we communicate?


image credit: 4.bp.blogspot.com


We communicate because we have no choice in the matter. It is an animal need.
We communicate because we don't know how not to.
We communicate because in order to know ourselves, we must see ourselves reflected in other eyes.
We communicate because we could not understand or think if we didn't.
We communicate to express our thoughts, issue commands, get the desired result or influence an action.
But most of all, we communicate to survive.

Imagine your internal organs not communicating.
Imagine your body not receiving or reacting to external stimuli.
Imagine total isolation.

Communication is not an option. It is the difference between living and dying.
