Human basic need of Communication
We need to belong. We need interaction. We need cooperation. In order for us to interact, we need to communicate. In order for us to cooperate, we need to communicate. To achieve prosperity, we need to communicate. Whenever we are in need, we pray and we reach out to God and our long lost loved ones, we communicate. In order for humans to achieve any of the above, we must communicate. Communication allows us to educate. Communication gives us the opportunity to understand each other. What is the common denominator of every single poverty stricken family, village, town, municipality, city, county, province, region, state, or Country? It is the lack of access to an uncensored communication and a virtuous well rounded universal education. A well informed citizen via an unbridled communication system helps create a prosperous nation.
Effective communication fosters strong bonds with allies, friends and loved ones. Its value should never be underestimated. History’s lessons are revealed through ancient texts, artifacts and structures. Communication has the power to reshape our perspectives.
Communication is the lifeblood of human interaction. It is the bridge that connects us to others, allowing us to share ideas, build relationships, and resolve conflicts. Through effective communication, we can inspire, motivate, and uplift one another. In order for us to foster better relationships, we need to communicate. Many times our thoughts words and deeds hurt others and in order to make amends, we need to communicate. Apology and forgiveness can’t be achieved without communication. We can’t exercise CORU (Care, Openness, Respect and Understanding) unless we are able to communicate.
True friendship is built on open communication, mutual respect, and empathy. By sharing our experiences, supporting one another, and celebrating each other’s successes, we strengthen our bonds and create lasting connections.
Effective leadership emerges from a deep understanding of human nature and a commitment to serving others. Great leaders inspire and motivate others through their words and actions. They foster a sense of community and purpose, empowering individuals to reach their full potential.
Service to others is a fundamental aspect of the human experience. By giving back to our communities, we not only make a positive impact on the world but also enrich our own lives. Whether it’s volunteering our time, donating to charity, or simply offering a helping hand, acts of service can strengthen our connections with others and bring meaning to our lives.
The power of individuality, communication, friendship, leadership, and service is undeniable. By embracing these principles, we can create a more just, equitable, and compassionate world.
Most of the negative things that happen to us and around us can be attributed to disconnection.
- Poverty: Disconnection certainly creates and maintains poverty.Our lives are revolved around people and our environment. We want and actually crave to stay connected. The social media, newspapers, radio, television, entertainment industry, schools, organizations, religions and governments all exist to keep people connected. We crave connectivity. It enhances our lives and most of the time brightens our day. Being connected allows an individual to properly trade. Trading gives an individual the ability to get funding. Without funding we can’t survive. Connection leads to security and prosperity. The security and prosperity of every creature on earth is based on the ability to bond and stay connected. Disconnection leads to so many negative results. Poverty and death (suicide and starvation) are the most prominent negative effects. Most people lose hope when they are disconnected. Nations and organizations fall apart when disconnection sets in. Do not underestimate the power of a handshake, an eye-contact or a casual conversation. These are the building blocks of a powerful relationship. God created us. He did not create you to be alone. He created you to be with us. Anyone can climb out of the pit of poverty if he/she grabs onto the lifeline of relationships.
- Loneliness: The first effect of separation or disconnection is loneliness. Being alone or on your own does not mean that your are automatically disconnected from humanity or your loved ones. Being alone sometimes is a choice that makes a person happy. This is not loneliness. When you crave for a conversation or a touch and there is nobody there to fill this need, that’s when the feeling of loneliness sets in.
- Anxiety: Once a person feels disconnected anxiety begins to set in and when left uncontrolled leads to a panic attack. These symptoms or effects can be readily observed in young children once separated from the adult who cares for them. This can also be observed in pets when separated from their master.
- Depression, Separation : The most important connection that many people take for granted is the connection with family. Most of us need support. We can get support from friends, peers and organizations but there is nothing stronger than the support from family. However, a family can’t support us if we are disconnected. Vanity, greed, lack of care, and the unwillingness to apologize and forgive break and keep families apart. Try to be nice. Being nice is like having a magnet towards goodness, great relationships and opportunities to prosperity.
- Death of a loved one, family or friend causes disconnection and enhances depression. Disputes and conflicts contributes to disconnection and can lead to depression. Being alone and disconnected from people can cause depression.
- War: Alliances are lost. Countries continue to be at war with each other because of disconnection. The attitude is that of “its them against us”.
- Violence: Physical, emotional or sexual abuse will lead to disconnection. It is easy to attack or inflict harm on another when there is no connection or care for the other. It is easy to be vindictive when one doesn’t care for the other.
- Cheating: This is one of the quickest way to break a great relationship.
- Disrespect: Show disrespect and there is almost an instantaneous disconnection.
- Being an Introvert/Extrovert: The extreme of either one is a clear sign of disconnection. We are born to be social creatures. Created to relate with others. It is not healthy to dominate in a relationship and neither is it to avoid relationships.
- Malicious deprivation will always lead to disconnection. Maliciously depriving others and oneself is the ultimate cause of disconnection.
Out of the 12 basic needs of humanity, Communication is the bedrock of human existence. It is the very essence that weaves together all other aspects of our lives, the invisible thread that binds us.

It is the thread that weaves together the tapestry of our existence, enabling us to connect, collaborate, and create. Without effective communication, our ability to fulfill our basic needs, build relationships, and achieve our goals would be severely limited.

By fostering understanding and empathy, communication helps us to build strong relationships and create supportive communities.
In a world that is increasingly interconnected, the importance of effective communication cannot be overstated. It is the key to solving complex problems, promoting peace, and creating a more just and equitable future.
