Key Words: evil communications corrupt good manners
We are told to speak the truth in love. I’ve often said you can say pretty much everything you need to if you say it in the right way, at the right time, and in the right place.
A tip about communication is this – to make sure that we are not the problem.
Let me explain.
A man was having difficulty communicating with his wife and concluded that she was becoming hard of hearing. So he decided to conduct a test without her knowing it. One evening he sat in a chair on the far side of the room. Her back was to him and she could not see him. Very quietly he whispered, “Can you hear me?” There was no response. Moving a little closer, he asked again, “Can you hear me now?” Still no reply. Quietly he edged closer and whispered the same words, but still no answer. Finally he moved right in behind her chair and said, “Can you hear me now?” To his surprise and chagrin she responded with irritation in her voice, “For the fourth time, yes!” What a warning to us about judging!
What to do:
✞ It’s always wise to make sure that the communication problem is not on “our” end.
