A good conversation is no less than a tonic that can
heal us. These days with the growing use of media and technology, seldom do all
of us just plain sit and talk. How often do we talk to our parents, say for
hours and hours together or for that matter an old friend?Just few days back I happened
to bump into an old acquaintance and believe me, we went on and on about life and
things that mattered and the conversation and that amazing feeling
just stayed on with me for days. I didn’t feel any better for years. We
are so caught up with our daily activities, our dreams, our lives that we don’t
have the time to just talk. In fact I also was talking to my grandmom’s old
friend few days ago, and she shared so much with me, about her old days in fact
she told me how alone she is that this conversation was definitely not less
than a tonic for her. Striking a conversation with someone is actually the
easiest thing to do. However we overlook such basic things these and complicate
lives for ourselves. There is so much one can learn about and share once one
converses. We definitely have to simplify our lives and understand the value
and the soothing effect of giving the time and talking to our mates, friends, close
acquaintances. In fact at times, conversing with strangers also makes you so
happy that you wouldn’t think would do. Not conversing infact stresses one out
and misunderstandings arise. These days we all are so hooked on to social
networking that we don’t even have an idea about the humongous amount of time
we spend doing such unimportant activities and how less we communicate or talk.
You wouldn’t realize but there could be such amazing conversation s that could
actually last a lifetime. Another important way is writing letters. The
closeness and empathy that you felt in a letter doesn’t exist in writing
emails. A yet better way..TALK IT OUT.
As said by Mark Twain-“A mans character maybe learned
from the adjectives which he habitually uses in conversation”
