dialogue

The importance of continuous dialogue can never be underestimated in relationships.The best of relationships can get damaged due to lack of dialogue.
Dialogue means talking to' one another and not 'at'each other as is the norm.Self-righteousness,indignation and intolerance are counter-productive while love,humour,generosity and frankness are enriching.Being a good listener is a pre-requisite of a dialogue.
To be meaningful,dialogue should be on the basis of shared concerns and a common purpose.Continuous efforts should be made to take the dialogue to a higher level.Involvement of people with similar views adds strength to relationships.Even if there is parting of ways, a complete rupture and ill will should be avoided.
