don't hate- communicate

I hate it when people try to shove their views down my throat, like they're right and I'm wrong and that's just the way it is. Sometimes I feel like all communication can be persuasion, because everyone usually always believes that what they're saying is correct. But then again, honestly thats only one function. I remembered then that communication can also be used to explanation' informing, or entertaining. When I think of persuasion, I think of manipulation, and that's not always the case. At least, that's not how it is for myself. Communicaion can be seen to some as just a means to persuade others that their opinions and views are correct, but to most, it is just a way to interact. Do with it what you will; communication can be all about persuasion if that's what you want it to be. Personally, I just think that's stupid. People who are only focused on persuasion and not communication in general used for other purposes. Let's not hate- communicate!
