You talk way too much.
I was thinking a lot recently about how our society as a whole talks and talks and talks and talks and nothing really gets said. Nobody listens. And then people get upset how we're living in a world of "soundbytes".
I don't think we have the attention span to truly listen to what another person has to say..atleast in this modern age. When was the last time you sat down and actually connected with a person? I think significant others should be included in this question, because I know lots of couples that never really listen to what the other is really saying.
Personally, I don't think I have truly "listened" and connected with anyone in probably over a week. Is it because nobody has anything to say, or that its lost all meaning due to sheer volume? I'm not sure.
In fact, I think that TFP (and the internet in general) is special because I don't have to listen to what everyone has to say. I can just skip over it if I don't have the time or will to do it.
Opinions on this? Do we talk way too much as a society?
My apologies if this has already been debated....I searched.
