“There is no such thing as conversation. It is an illusion. There are interesting monologues, that is all.”

“I don’t know if I fully agree with this particular quote, for one reason only. I have had some pretty damn good conversations in the past, and it didn’t involve a talk show host to conduct it. We as individuals want to be heard, want to be understood, empathy and compassion shown. Living fully in the present and having that other person fully listen is a gift; one that should never be taken for granted.”

Yep. We all want to be heard, be seen… be acknowledged. It’s a gift we can give to each other.
The monologue quote is too often the reality, unfortunately.
Great food for thought!!👍💌

I agree I think the first quote is maybe just a very sad perspective from someone who never got to experience what a really great conversation is. 🙂

Conversations with oneself can be comforting. Conversations with others can be liberating. Have a wonderful day.

I dont agree with this quote either. Ive had a lot of very good conversations, that did not involve one person talking or doing all the talking. xo

I’m happy that you agree with this one too. I was actually annoyed when I first read that quote. 🙂
