Is conversation a lost art today?
I see dead people.
Zombies.
The
walking dead.
I see them shuffling down the
street, foraging in Albertson's. Even slumped in chairs at restaurants.
Their arms contorted in front
of them. Their faces glowing a soft blue... wait.
They're
NOT zombies.
They're
people, but they're nose-down in their phones or tablets.
Even
when there are other humans right in front of them, they remain unaware of the
other person's presence.
One
day, they'll look up from those little screens, and wonder where their family
and friends went.
Unless they discover the art
of REAL "social."
You
can't get much more "social" than actual conversation.
IMHBAO
("in my humble but accurate opinion"), we need to rediscover the art
of conversation.
You
see, it's not just "talking". It's So much more than that.
It's a pity I had to reach my forties (which are now squarely in my rear
view mirror) before I really learned how to have a great conversation.
