%MEDIUM MESSAGE PERSONAL APPROACH RELATIONSHIPS 990406
Often the medium of communication via which a message
is carried to people --- is itself the message which
is communicated; even though the messengers may feel
and believe that certain propositions, statements,
truths, doctrines, and the like are the real message.
Some messengers feel and believe that they have been
entrusted with a special knowledge of absolute truths
which transcend what other lesser beings know. Such
people are often insecure in their apparent degree of
certainty --- and seek to cover their insecurity with
layers of arrogance, self-righteousness, and
preoccupations with issues of control. Such messengers'
ways of approaching and relating to people often are the
primary message which they bring to those who are affected
by them --- perhaps in alienative ways.
Other messengers are interested in getting to know
people who are interesting --- in that they are
creatively different. They seek to facilitate and
promote open and honest dialogue which is balanced,
mutual and meaningful to all those involved in the
dialogue. They are peacemakers and help people to
cooperate in ways which bear sweet fruits for all
the participants in the cooperative efforts. Such
messengers are themselves the message which they bring
to those who come to know them intimately --- by how
they participate in personal relationships.
When the messengers who carry an ostensible overt
message contradict their own overt message by how
they participate in personal relationships --- they
fail to convey the ostensible message which they may
think that they are conveying. People may seek to
minimize friction with they by playing along with their
pretense; all the while receiving loud and clear the
message which is delivered to them by the alienative
manner of approach and the relationships which dominate
the messengers' life style.
