So here's a very funny but relatable thought.
Wouldn't it be nice if every conversation (possibly other than work), began with something like this:
Scene A: Hello, can you lend your ear for a small talk?
OR
Scene B: Hi there, can I borrow both your ear and brain for your opinion?
Believe me, things would've been much easy.
In social or intimate conversations, every other person mostly expects a sugarcoated version or what they want to hear, instead of what they need or deserve to hear.
I am no different. This makes us, bipedal binary carbon based human beings, get the feeling of being socially accepted.
No dent on the ego!!
But all this, is, from the point of the speaker, one who desires acceptance regardless of how illogical, irrelevant, unimportant or plain ass stupid it sounds to the audience.
However, have we ever thought about what happens to the listener in such situations?
Sure, there are terms such as "table talk" or "small talk" where we talk about stuff on which everyone can relate so we all can make merry and get through the night.
But then, there are stuff which you are expected to hear irrespective of whether you give a rats ass or not.
Therein lies my problem.
Well, If I'm hearing you, it's okay...
I can give you what you want to hear.
But if I'm listening,
then you have to be prepared for what I have to say.
Kapish?
