AXIOM ONE; Communication is Inevitable i.e ''one cannot not communicate''.
Unless you are a Hermit, you cannot really avoid communicating, because every behavior is a kind of communication e.g someone who sings always' this explains that the person loves singing,people who are aware of each other are constantly communicating.Even the challenged people who are deaf and dumb still communicate.

THEY HAVE THEIR OWN WAY OF LEARNING
HOW TO COMMUNICATE AS WELL.
Any perceivable behaviour, including the absence of action, has the potential to be interpreted by other people as having some meaning..this would lead us to.....
AXIOM TWO; Communication is Irreversible i.e ''you can't take it Back''.
Once you say something, it can't be undone, you can try to change the contents of what you actually said,make it sound better or make people think of something else, at the end of the day, you still said IT.
For example; A story about two very close friends, Sandra and Susan, they really loved each other but on this faithful day, they a serious quarrel among themselves, this made one of them ''Sandra'' report her friend ''Susan'' to the school authority that she practiced one of the prohibited habits of the school thinking the school would make their findings, but unfortunately, the school didn't because they felt she couldn't just lie against her friend '' very close friend''Sadly, Susan was suspended for a month from school and it was just two weeks to the schools' mid - term exam , now Sandra started feeling terrible because she could not reverse what she said, she actually tried to but she could ''not not say it again'' because the school authority now believed she only wanted to save her from that punishment because she is her close friend.
''Think before you act'' .I don't know about you, but there have been many times when I said something and then I wish I could go back and say it in a different way or erase what I said from people's mind.It usually doesn't help much.Remember ''Never to make a promise you can't keep''.Its Irreversible.
AXIOM THREE; Communication is Unrepeatable i.e ''you can't re-do it''.
This ties into communication is irreversible, when you communicate in a way you wish you hadn't. Here, it could be verbal or non- verbal.
Verbal i.e communication with words,2 days ago, you argued with someone, and you are asked to repeat what you said word for word,it just doesn't work, you cannot ''re-do it'', the fact that you aren't even in the same mood as you were as at the time of the argument. The words' won't just come the way they were originally and you could have made one very nasty statement that period, watch what you say.''Never make a decision when you are angry''too.
Non - Verbal i.e you really do not need to speak here,what you wear could speak for you.''The way you are dressed, determines the way you would be addressed''.You are invited to a dinner party of about 2 hours drive away from your house, you were contemplating on wearing either a pink or a white beautiful dress you just got, you eventually decided to wear the pink dress, on getting to the party, you looked very gorgeous and everyone admired you, this does not mean if you wear this same dress to a dinner party where you have almost the same set of people again, you would still have such attention drawn to you.''it is unreapeatable''. Some people say Communication is actually repeatable, I think that's only if it is a Quote or if it was put in to Writing.
My view about COMMUNICATION...
What's Your's?
