Marshall Rosenberg, author of Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life provides tools for reviving "The lost language of humankind, the language of a people who care about one another and long to live in harmony." Raised in a turbulent Detroit neighborhood, he developed a keen interest in conflict resolution and new forms of communication as peaceful alternatives to the violence he encountered. He gained a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, but was dissatisfied with the focus on pathology he found there. His subsequent study of comparative religions, and his own varied life experience convinced him that human beings are not inherently violent, and motivated him to develop the communication process he calls Nonviolent Communication (NVC).

He has provided training and initiated peace programs in a number of war-torn areas, including Rwanda, Burundi, Nigeria, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Sierra Leone, The Middle East, Columbia, Serbia, Croatia and Northern Ireland.

Any communication model that helps us to consciously choose productive responses instead of resorting to alienating knee-jerk responses is worth exploring.

For many people, our current mode of communication and associated language is often too small for what our hearts long to express. Much of our communication is based on the belief that human beings are inherently ignorant and need to be educated about what’s right and wrong and that there are certain people who are qualified to do that job. In the words of Joseph Chilton Pearce “All of us know intuitively that we are not by nature savage beasts. Fewer, however, are aware that we are driven to some fairly beastly behaviours by enculturation, despite the fact that the process itself is supposed to prevent this.”...

“How did we all get so…vulgar?” asked Sam. a local colleague, in his monthly newsletter. “Somehow we’ve let the loud, the boastful, and the vulgar become the popular traits. The bad guys are cool, the slashers are heartthrobs, and cheaters win,“ he lamented.

Turning back the vulgar wave overtaking society, Sam added, “will take a counter-revolution… each of us doing what we can. Vulgar is so easy; I resolve to resist, and resistance will be hard.”

How does vulgar fit with Nonviolent Communications, I asked myself after reading Sam’s article. Perhaps the best way is to describe something that happened to me recently.

Like all other feelings, anxiety is caused when consciously or unconsciously we perceive certain needs to be at risk.

An upcoming task — the outcome of which could have important consequences for us — can raise our level of stress and lead us to feeling anxious. This could be due to any number of needs at play including competence, acceptance, belonging, self-acceptance, or safety.

What leads us to experience anxiety — the needs involved and the meaning we are giving a particular situation — are entirely context-dependent.

"Every moment each human being is doing the best we know at that moment to meet our needs. We never do anything that is not in the service of a need; there’s no conflict on our planet at the level of needs. We all have the same needs. The problem is in the strategies for meeting our needs."

Marshall Rosenberg

"Our attention is focused on classifying, analyzing, and determining levels of wrongness rather than on what we and others need and are not getting."

"This objective of getting what we want from other people—or getting them to do what we want them to do—threatens the autonomy of people, their right to choose what they want to do. And whenever people feel that they’re not free to choose what they want to do, they are likely to resist, even if they see the purpose in what we are asking and would ordinarily want to do it. "

"We want people to change because they see better ways of meeting their needs at less cost, not because of fear that we are going to punish them, or guilt them if they don’t. This applies to ourselves as well. "
Marshall Rosenberg

No Sacrifices, Please
When someone suffers for my success, we both lose. It is anti-success. In a win-lose situation everyone loses. My goal is to live in a world where no one’s success depends on anyone else’s pain and where no one’s needs are sacrificed. There is enough love, space, and time in the Universe to meet everyone’s needs...
