Why is it so hard for us to talk with each other?How can we break down the emotional wall?

"Voice" is a special gift from God. The moment we came out from our mother's womb, we let out a cry , a voice that give a relief to our mum , a voice of happiness , a wonderfull voice that have been gifted for us to communicate with each other in the future, a voice that bonds us with our family members ,relatives, friends ,future husbands,future wives, future children, future grandchildren, and even strangers around us . Without voice , life is dreary, monotonous,dismal and lifeless.Without voice and words , we are unlikely to understand each other better. However ,there are still some people who find it "challenging"to talk with each other , as for them , talking is like having medicine.Why is it so?

I believe that emotional conflict is the most prominent factor that stop both parties from having a conversation with each other. In the movie "A Thousand Years of Good Prayers", Mr Shi and his daughter are having antagoism since Yilan was still young. Yilan and her mum heard rumours about Mr Shi was having a relationship with his working partner at the workplace , however Yilan did't have the courage or initiative to ask Mr Shi the truth and remain silent till the very last moment.Being a rocket scientist , Mr Shi was taught to remain silent all the time as everything about his job and career is confidential, is a big secret for his company and the country , China itself.Therefore , Mr Shi and Yilan seldom talk to each other and did not get to know each other better.

Communication is paramount to having a successful relationship. The same is true about raising children. Parents must communicate with each other in order to reap the benefits of child rearing. Learning how to effectively communicate is mostly a task of learning how to listen. Active listening skills will help anyone communicate effectively and empathetically in a relationship and reduces the risk of not being heard. Typically one of the major areas of importance in a marriage is children. Unfortunately more often than not, one parent does a majority of the communication with the child while the other parent is an innocent bystander.Stay active in all aspects of the child's life regardless of who traditional roles is it.

Apart from this , why is it so hard for us to talk to each other?Is it of language barrier that become a thick wall between both parties t0communicate with each other?
Not really, what really matter is our mindset and heart whether we are willing , sincere and patient to talk to each other.Even two parties who came from different background and share different languages and religions are able to talk with each other, just like Mr Shi and Madam who is an Iranian in the movie. They are able to do so because of one important criterias as they are talking heart to heart .

Last but not least ,we should appreciate what God gave us ,our voice that some unfortunate people around the world yearn for it .Make full use of it and use it to communicate with each other to make the worls a better place to stay in.
