- Communication is vital for the continuous pursuit of truth.
- It encompasses any signs or symbols used by individuals to express thoughts and values.
Understanding Dialogues and Relationships
- Entitlement mentality reflects a lack of respect for elders and authority figures.
- Authentic communication, referred to as "dialogue" by Martin Buber, begins with the art of listening.
- Justice represents the minimum contribution to dialogue, while love represents its highest form.
