Conversation
Some things aren't spoken about because they are secrets that need keeping, some people are quiet because they have nothing to say. Some are silent because there are times in which only silence allows us to hear the important things. Some are never quiet and their voices rattle like rocks in an aluminum can.
While silence may lead to the gate of self-reflection, speech opens the door of human relations. To be cut off from ordinary conversation is to be cut off from the pleasures and benefits of companionship.
In true conversation there are no roles but there are rules of respect. In true conversation there is no domination, only equals talking. A conversation is a free and open exchange of thoughts and feelings. It isn't the building up of ideas that count as much as weaving the fabric of human intercourse.
To converse is to belong with others. True conversation is fitting into the heart of another and letting others into yours. Conversation lifts the veil of isolation. Without conversation we are disconnected from the human community, with conversation we find a place where we belong.
