You meet a person and say, "Hi, how are you?" , "I'm fine and you", "I am also very fine".
"How are the kids?" "They are okay, working hard in school, we hope for the best." "And yours? Yes, they are all okay".
"How is life?" "Life is Very hard, But we are struggling"....
You know same old talk.
Clearly we just end up playing the motions of conversation.
No one is really saying anything. Mostly you are just told what you want to hear so that you can answer back what the other person wants to hear. In fact
want is a not the word- I meant expects!
There those people that we really would like to talk to and you know - feel them.
But we find ourselves pulling the small old tired lines from the book of overused and misused greeting protocols yet again.
So...
How do we begin small talk? and keep having different ways of starting it?
Plus how do we get to know how a person really is or should be bother?
