What is communication? One definition is : Communication is a process whereby meaning is defined and shared between living organisms.
Communication should always be done with respect...not for your own views but for those of others. You already understand why you feel a particular way or have a particular belief.
As a unique being, no-one else thinks like you or acts like you...therefore communicating an idea, a belief, a concept is very difficult.
If this is not done with consideration for the other person, then your idea or whatever will not achieve what you hoped.
If this is not done with respect that the person you are trying to communicate with is not you, does not see what you see, then you may as well not share it with them.
If you do try to share your ideas/opinions about something and this is done without consideration for your audience, then this can be tantamount to bullying or coercion. You are trying to insist your ideas/beliefs are right and the only ones that matter.
When communicating online, with no vocal tones or facial expressions to help get your viewpoints across, try to remember, it can be like trying to explain the colour green to an alien entity who has no concept of colour!
Assume that the person does not understand or know about your concept in the first instance, if they do, they will surely let you know.
Remember, treat people as you expect to be treated....with love and respect always...otherwise there is an old saying...what goes around comes around!
With love and respect to one and all.
