There is a Communication Even One is Not Replying

Communication is important to all. People are lucky to be able to communicate

through words and actions unlike animals who can only communicate with one another
through actions. We communicate with others every day to understand other people, to finish
our works and others. According to a lot of definitions, communication involves two or more
person which fill the roles of being the sender and the receiver of the message. If the receiver
responded to the message, it is what we call feedback and the shift of role happens.
Responding to the message of the other person is essential to have a proper
communication but communication without reply is still considered as communication.
Response does not only refer to verbal replies. All people have different values, belief and
culture that influences their way of communication. Questions answerable by yes or no can
be responded by a simple nod or shake of head. A simple raise of hand can be a message to
be quiet. And even if the person you are talking to does not respond verbally or through
actions, their reactions may be evident on their facial reaction and behavior to your statement.
With nonverbal response, you could communicate to others through your instinct and it could
be helpful for the person to be more sensitive to what they are saying.
There is a quote, “The biggest communication problem is we do not listen to
understand. We listen to reply.”. This quote only means that we are not required to respond
on every message we received, instead, we should fully understand it and feel the message. If
we communicate with one another more effectively, it could be our key to success and
achieve our personal goals. Communication makes our relationship with our family and
community stronger to achieve successful life.
