Conversation is Beyond Talking

 Today's era can also be called the era of communication. There is a lot of dialogues and discussion going on. We Chat in various apps. Messages are being sent everyday.  We have quick updates on everything in no time. Voice notes are also a part of this chit chat. Silence is filled with all types of words. We TALK or we CONVERSE. We always stay connected.\, heard or not heard... that's a different story. 

Talking and conversing are two different things. Talk is casual and general.. it is what we do in our everyday lives at home, at work, and even online. But the real conversation is deep when we listen snd ruminate. Talking is like having a transaction where two or more people are speaking and no one is actually paying attention to what is being said. There is only exchange of words without any acknowledgement and comprehension.

On the other hand while conversing the level of understanding is high. things are listened to and comprehended also. It is about presence of the speaker and listener as well. A real conversations mellows down the pace and allows the words to sink in. You are not hurrying to finish your talk, you are letting the moments to unfold , even if it is no certain. It is not merely listening to the one who is talking but responding to. In a true conversation, words are not simply spoken or heard, they are received, chewed, and felt.

Talking is easy. Everything is under control. It is in your hand what you want to convey and what you don't want to reveal. Conversation is not the same. It is a live demonstration of your feelings, Which is why podcasts sound more real than the interviews. We see through people in the conversations. You don't have walls built when you converse. You share your emotions and be true to yourself. It is when people finally feel seen and not handled. There is a connection built up when we converse, it is not something made , it is felt. 

While talking you can be cautious about your reputation and all but during conversation you bare yourself which is why conversions sound real and more life like. You may risk your truth, as lower your guards while in conversation with some one. This is the reason why there are less of conversations as very few dare to let their secrets open.

Talking is everywhere whereas conversations are rare and few. Conversations are intentional. there is a direct communication between the two. Every on part of the conversation feels and listens and then takes it further. Simply talking may means only to react to what is being said. don't make a connection when we simply talk. But there is some bonding made when we converse . Now that relation is a true one.  

A genuine conversation can heal what a thousand empty words cannot. This is what conversations are meant for. Because at the end of the day, people don't just want to be heard and seen ..... they want to be felt
