One of the biggest privileges we have as humans is communicating with each other in deep and meaningful ways. No other living creatures have the ability to relate with one another on the level that humans do. While there are many ways that we experience depth in relationships, few things are as significant and powerful in our search for connection as a good conversation.
It is quite amazing that humans have the abilitiy to grow up in entirely separate localities, cities, and sometimes cultures and still be able to have an intelligent and meaningful conversation with one another. A child born in the center of India and a child born somewhere in Canada could meet and share a conversation because they both have the ability to communicate. If not through the language, then maybe through expressions and indications... This is amazing..!
Because the ability to communicate and relate in-depth with other humans is one of our most distinguished privileges, we should never take that ability for granted. Instead, we should do all we can to increase our ability to have a good conversation with the people around us.
Think about all of the opportunities you have each day to engage another human being in conversation. You can talk to mountains, rocks, trees, or a soft toy for as long as you want, and you will never get a response. Whereas saying something as simple as “Hi” to another person can elicit a response from their side.
Not all people are good at talking to other people. Some of them are shy, rude, or maybe dumb in communicating.
One of the best ways to get good at conversation with other people is simply to start talking to them. Start by saying hello to the people you pass on the street. Ask the person who is checking you out at the grocery store or the teller at the bank how they are doing and ask if they are enjoying their day. Learn to respond with more than just one word when someone asks you a question. You will be surprised at how quickly you learn about the conversation by doing small things.
For a good conversation, people must be ready to listen to each other.. it requires patience and interest in what the conversation is about. One of the important things for getting good at conversation is to really care about people and the things they care about. It will be much easier to connect with someone if you are engaged and really caring about the things they are talking about.
There is nothing worse than trying to carry on a conversation with someone disinterested in it. Asking people questions that you really want to know the answers to will take you a step ahead in making great conversation.
Deep conversations are priceless because it is unique to humans. Enjoy the privilege you have to learn from others and share wisdom with them.
