Description / Abstract
The challenge of speaking the truth in love has been with humankind since the beginning. The earliest accounts of human interaction attest to the possibilities of interaction and communication going awry. The end result is often conflict. As a consequence, we are surprisingly well adapted to existing in an environment where communication and conflict are often present. Clearly, our preferences note our desire for peaceable discourse that encourages and allows constructive discourse and the exchange of ideas. In reality, thanks to the ubiquitous presence of the media, this grand desire remains an elusive hope. Rarely can we tune across the television channels without being bombarded by bombast, scurrilous criticism, innuendo, and a general absence of manners. Increasingly, such tendencies are even amplified when one reads the comment sections following an Internet story. In such settings of faceless, nameless anonymity, there is often an amplification of ruthlessness. In this paper the reader will find a modest proposal that we examine the challenge of speaking the truth in love from several perspectives. First, we shall think about communication and conflict. Second, we shall imagine communication without conflict. Finally, we shall examine possibilities of communication in truth and love.
