Communication is one of the most important aspects of life that we need, to have a sense of life is to have communication between every individual. Friedmann Schulz von Thun, a German psychologist, professor, and an expert in communication has developed the four sides of communication or the Four-Ears Model; are Factual Information, Appeal, Self-Revelation, and Relationship. From there, communication has given much more extensive information that an individual should know. However, what does it mean by "We Cannot Not Communicate"? We Cannot Not Communicate base on my understanding is that it's impossible for us to not communicate without us communicating because it is our way of engaging or interacting with other people. We communicate in different ways and on different levels. Our facial expression, tone of voice, gesture, and posture is one way of communicating that's beyond the words that we utter from our lips through that we can instantly navigate or understand what the person wants to convey. Even without saying at all, it is still communication and that you're giving a person a silent treatment meaning you aren't interested in talking to that person. From that, Communication can be anything as long as it relays a story and one person understand it and could give feedback. It says communication is the Soul of life that makes our lives more interesting than what it is. We people often communicate every single day even we tried to stop the thought of refraining ourselves from talking is impossible.
To sum it all up, Communication cannot be erased and cannot be taken away from us because it is part of our daily lives. We live to communicate and we communicate to live.
