Nonviolent Communication

<< < (3/3)

I watched the video and am in the process of reading the book. My family and I started using this form of communication today. I saw my kids communicating with each other at a heart level instead of just bickering. I saw my wife light up as she received love from them and me.

Adam, I'm confused as to how the NAP and NVC can operate together, because the NAP is based on morality, and the NVC transcends morality. I fear that you may not see this entanglement, because I want you and the message of Freedom to thrive. Please articulate how you see the NAP and NVC can work hand in hand, or if they can't, then why not.

Bob-rob,

It appears you may have missed some things regarding NVC... He uses the word need just to refer to the metaphysical needs all humans have. We all recognize that humans have the same physical needs. Rosenberg simply expanded the term need to include the metaphysical which we also all have in common.

To say that you need $100 for medicine for your wife is confusing your stately/plan with your actual need. Remember that all humans have the same needs. Not all humans have a need for money to buy medicine for a spouse. But we do have the need for the health of our loved ones.

I actually love the use of the term need with NVC, because it helps us relate to other humans at a life promoting level. The idea of physical needs is to get needs fulfilled to sustain and promote life. The same is true with metaphysical needs.

Pacifico:
I have a question would the abolishing of the federal government void the constitution? I have read Freedom, awesome by the way, and couldn't find an answer.
