EDRG 3344 Star Trek TNG Darmok Episode

Well I guess I finally have seen my first episode of Star Trek EVER!!!! I wanted to fall asleep however the lesson on communication was good. Showing the film showed how important communication is and how difficult it can be as well. Communication is something I need to work on everyday. I need to watch how I say things. What I say is not necessarily wrong but the WAY I say it comes across NASTY and puts people on the defensive. Another form of communication is facial expressions. You can say a thousand words with your face without saying a word. Isn't that amazing? I think that a lack of communication or even miscommunication can cause a lot of damage. It can cause divorce and families to be broken, it can cause war and people to die........all just because you didn't know how to "TALK" the correct way....that's a powerful thing to think about. Words are powerful. I'd rather be punched in the face than for someone to tell me something degrading or hurtful with their words.
