Why we have conversations.

THE ART OF CONVERSATION     by Todd
Introducing the art of conversation: 
Conversation is the single most important skill to have. It is fast, efficient and represents our point of view the best. So much is accomplished by conversation, that writing, drawing, or making videos are not necessary for ordinary communication. However, no harm is done by repeating a subject in another form such as writing, drawing, or making videos. It is the lack of conversation which creates problems. I would like to emphasize that organizing the conversations you need ahead is the first step. So I'd like to bring some visual form into the conversation. Imagine you were walking down a path -- and that path represents the month ahead. Consider that you need four conversations, one for each week. Conversation is often broken up to allow a data collection phase, in which, each space between conversations is filled by gathering data. Now the erase that image, and I’ll give you a new one. Imagine you're in a group of four people. Imagine this group is working on a project together. They will need to talk, because the project involves all of them. They will need conversation. Consider that no cooperation can occur between people without conversation. Yes they can react on a primitive level, acting as animals who have no language, but that is not what I am saying. Now erase again. Imagine a group of three people. Now imagine a pot of gold on the same page. To get the pot of gold, these three people need to have a conversation together. It is only working in the threefold gathering that they can work on the reward together. Conversation puts puzzle pieces together. In the art of conversation, a complete picture is gathered using each person as a contributor to the whole picture. Now imagine two people discussing all the things they need to talk about. They can talk about only what they want, however, there are times when the needs for conversation outweigh our wants for conversation. Now imagine the calendar. Around the calendar that you are imagining are conversations which match up with certain dates. The art of conversation relies on the individual. The individual has wants and needs for conversation. Then, like a crystal ball, they put their conversations on a list. When a free moment arises, they have the conversations they need.
