What it means to have
The Positive Communication.
This topic could be dealt in two ways :
The Positive and The Negative.
In both these ways, the foremost and the only most important point is :
The common interest.
When there is at least one conspicuous or inconspicuous common interest, one can hope communication may happen.
For example communication between an atheist and another one such an atheist. Between a monotheist and one another one such a monotheist.
Between a polytheist and such another one another polytheist. An agnostic and another one agnostic. Likewise between a believer and one another believer. One non-believer and another non-believer.
Between an idol worshipper and another one. Between an iconoclast and another one such an iconoclast.
Even between a vegetarian and another vegetarian. Between one who abstains from alcoholic beverages and like him. These kind of people who have at least one common interest can communicate with another to some extent. That too has limitations and this goes on well as long the their prejudices don't come in the way and the communication begins to break, fail or even leading to disputes. Most people try to accommodate and to adjust according to circumstances and the situation and in the long-run those who are cunning somehow by hook or by the crook become dominating either by means of the political power of the state or by religious influences, exploiting the sentiments of the ordinary people.
This is how a civilization turns into a cult and then into so-called culture.
This indeed has been so far the history of the human social, ethical, moral and the behavioural values and ideals too.
Historically speaking, Before the arrival of Islam, Christianity and Catholicism and even before the Jew belief system, there were those where people used to have different beliefs - all those as have been referred to in the first introductory paragraphs of this post. The historians call these variously different and similar traditional orthodox belief systems as -
Pagan.
These Pagans used to worship the nature and the spirit without discriminating if there were a single one or so many such entities who govern the earth, the whole human life and the whole animate and inanimate existence.
However all were lenient and generous in the sense that they hardly imposed their own beliefs on the others. The line of thinking was a porous wall between them and a man, any group or a society could and would easily transmigrate to any other according to circumstances or situations and there hardly was greed or fear behind leaving a system of beliefs and accepting another set or a system of beliefs.
After and during the arrival of the three above described belief-systems the world has turned into a battle field of political interests of these three Belief-systems on one hand and the rest on the other hand. Sadly and Unfortunately this Reality has never been given attention to, addressed and even more deliberately ignored too by most of the political Belief-systems all over the globe.
This may be an example of how :
Communication between the people has took a negative turn during the last two thousand years history of the human civilization and culture.
As is evident we as the human being still continue the nurturing and fostering the same tradition even today.
