Communication = Relationship

Communication is the building block of a relationship. Without communication we could not start a relationship with someone. Communication plays a vital role in everyone relationship. Relationship such as with your Girlfriend or Boyfriend, Parents, Friends, Colleagues, works and etc. started all from communication.

Communication is the activity of conveying information. Communication must be between two persons, parties or sides etc. Communication has been derived from the Latin word "communis", meaning to share. Communication requires a sender, a message, and an intended recipient, although the receiver need not be present or aware of the sender's intent to communicate at the time of communication; thus communication can occur across vast distances in time and space. Communication requires that the communicating parties share an area of communicative commonality. The communication process is complete once the receiver has understood the message of the sender. Feedback is critical to effective communication between parties.

As such we benefit from communicating by building those relationship with our love ones, family, friends etc. Since, this is the building block of any relationship, lacking communication may lead to fragile relationship susceptible to temptations. Temptation such as false, dishonest, untruthful, infidelity, and others.

Say for an example, you have a girlfriend and you both are working on a different company. Your only means of communication is via your company emails. But inside of your company you have your own messengers but only works internally. Then you have regular colleague that you are chatting with. Once your conversation with your colleague steps a little deeper by time, and you have a lesser time communicating with your partner, you'll end up seeing yourself that you are already hooked up communicating with your colleague instead of your partner, Thus will lead to deceitful relation with your partner as you are tempted to start a new one with your colleague. As earlier said, Communication is the building block of a relationship. On a another note, communication is also a factor for unfaithfulness.( See blog on Unfaithful Relationship)

Since we are all Human, we can balance how we will benefit from communicating with others. We have the power to affect other through communication. God gave us the freewill to do whatever we like and the Wisdom to choose from the right and wrong. So, I hope we still apply this principle when we are communicating and build our relationship.
