Question:
Considering history and events that mankind chooses
to write/record as history, humans are a warring
species, a cruel species, capable of any atrocity. Yet
we have all learnt by experience that in relationships
a little appreciation goes a long, long way. People
who erroneously believe they can bludgeon or
humiliate a partner into some form of submission are
so far out of sync with reality . . . yet it is common;
why is that?
Response:
It is the feel of indestructibility and power at work.
Humans have a cruel streak. The elements of vanity
and arrogance make them vulnerable. Whenever and
wherever they get a chance to exercise their power
over others, they do - often with sadistic tendencies;
from Dictators downwards to the clerk, from the
patriarch to the cook, from Director in a school to
the bully… just about everyone.
COMMUNICATE WELL.
Well what makes you say I do not communicate well
to begin with? In school and college I used to even be
appreciated for my language and clarity of
communication. I was winning debates. Then you say
“Be persuasive”. What do you mean? Am I not good at
getting things done? Very few people refuse me what
I want. I have a string of happy clients to prove it.
You say; Try and adopt effective communication
skills. Whatever are they and have I not explained my
point already?
