Conversation

We are social creatures, stuck on a planet, seemingly in the middle of no where. We talk in our social circles, say our good byes, only to return at a later date. We will change through our travels, and thus have different perspectives when we speak again. Our minds constantly morphing.

A funny thing happened in the last 100 years or so, technology occurred, and instead of the escape through distance were bound to our cell phones black berries, pagers, and computers. Letters just seem out of style.

But when we return, we catch up even though we know most of the story. We might nod our heads and let a person tell their side of the story again even though we know the ending. Finding out the hidden details that we missed, and then plan to go do something memorable. When were finally done the members of the circle run back to base to tell another circle what you've done.

Simply living lives, ideas being dispersed throughout circles, always changing, and not always compatible. Were morphing circuits with changing values, oh yes, we can retain a small figment of our past, but for the most part were upgraded versions of our former selves.

Now conversation, the exchange of ideas, does that really end? If i say say one thing and you argue another, and lets say your right, would the conversation end? Would there still be other circles who argue against? Would you still be compatible with those circles on the same subject or do you need to create a new circle all together?


Things to think about:
Religion, Politics, Values are some attributes of an individual in a circle.

Your ability to approach others is your connecting line to another platter of circles.

A circle is a group of individuals engaged in conversation.

Conversation can multitask within the circle.
