I think that if we teach people to understand this concept of communication causes all problems and is also the solution to all problems, I mean, bottom line, the more you communicate, the more you'll like someone that you're communicating with. If you, even if you push through the difficult times and you don't agree with them, you start to feel your emotions boil up a little bit, they get fired up. If you stay calm and you push through that and you continue to communicate, your liking of that person will go up. It's impossible not to as long as you communicate further. And then you will have some agreements. And that's what it all stems from. It's very simple.
