Yes/No questions we seldom ask ourselves yet we know exactly what the answers are, and yet we always want further persuasion and explanation. Example (1): X : what do you think? Should I go for it? Y: "Yes!"… X: "But why?" Example (2): X: what do you think? Should I go for it? Y: "No!" X: "Why not?!" It is our nature; human beings are curious creatures, even when the questions don’t particularly concern us, we love to gossip, God forbid we are not up to speed with the latest news; they got divorced, she lives abroad, he got his PHD….etc. Gosh! And I can't help but wonder why this is the highlight of someone's day, what ever happened to smart conversation? A meaningful one? They say life is progressive, I wonder what the coming generations will do when they inherit our "he said/ she said" history. And I hope they weren't mistaken when they called it "history". I can't help but feel sad about our present situation, the one that will be passed on to our youngsters, the present that I so hope will be in the pages of the past tomorrow. |
