The human conversation. It is an everyday but powerful thing - an exchange of thoughts and ideas that sets us apart from the animal kingdom. For us, a conversation goes far beyond communicating information. It can inspire us, and even change us. It can make us understand ourselves and life differently. It can transport us to another place, and its effects can be permanent. But, like most things, conversations can be used for a higher purpose, or undertaken casually, almost unconsciously. It is this second type of conversation that I’ve noticed we all tend to fall back on most of the time; it seems we adopt a sort of ‘narrative’ that we use and reuse all the time, without really thinking about it. But how funny it is that, despite this sophisticated conversational faculty we have as human beings, we often choose to communicate very little about our inner selves and the important questions of life.
