2 Kindness 3 Utility «More bees are attracted with honey than with gall»; this is a traditional saying from my country that is used to express that kindness helps to win friends and opens doors that rudeness closes. If being an honest person frees you from emotional burdens, being kind fills you with very good energy. Nothing is more beautiful than being nice to those around you. Greeting, being grateful, saying what you think without offending, makes people really appreciate you. When you choose to say things in a friendly and respectful way, communication becomes more fluid and the atmosphere becomes more pleasant and harmonious. Silence for Buddhists is also very valuable. For them it is the ideal space to listen to both others and yourself. From what I said at the beginning, we all want to be heard and it is impossible to do so if people interrupt or do not pay attention, hence the fact of knowing how to keep silent. But many times people talk about filling an empty space. What this action causes is that it impoverishes relationships to the point of alienating people. 4 Harmony Buddhists are known to seek inner and outer peace, so it is not strange that even in communication they seek to maintain harmony. For Buddhists, words are only justified when they are a way to nurture goodwill and peace among people. This is how for them any message that does not contribute to that goal will only be a mechanism to generate misunderstandings and damage relationships. Harmony in communication must convey peace and be clear and concise, in order to enrich relationships and make communication more fluid. When two people communicate, it’s important to know how to reach each other. Therefore, the fact of being truthful, kind, knowing how to listen to and keep clear and concrete ideas, helps to improve relations with others and with yourself. Communication and innovation, two aspects that must go hand in hand.
