It seems that we're talking more than ever. And it's true that we have more platforms for connections and communication than ever before. But what feels like conversation is actually just talking. Conversation-the exchange of ideas and thoughts between two people in which both understand and respond to each other-is disappearing underneath the mountains of posts and texts.
It's that conversation I want to revive (恢复), the kind that involves judging fairly and carefully qualities of the other and increases empathy (同感). That's the kind of bond that builds bridges and crosses the divides splitting us.
Can you still have that kind of conversation?Of course you can. The first barrier is the phone. A study showed that the mere presence of a phone, even one that didn't belong to the person talking, made those involved in a chat more likely to see the other person as unfriendly and untrustworthy. So, the first step is to put it away.
