Why do I have conversations?

Firstly, let’s look at why humans interact and communicate. You might say it’s to get a message across but I’m talking about the deeper meaning. Why do we talk to each other?

Imagine being stuck in a desert. You have water, food, shelter and all your other basic needs yet there is nobody else to share it with. Nobody to talk to or care for. Nobody to share your jokes with or talk about your dreams to. Nobody for miles and miles. Enough to drive you crazy right? Most definitely!

I’m an only child so I might just last longer than the average person who had conversations with their siblings from a very early age, but eventually I’d probably go crazy like the rest of you.  I’d also start talking to a cactus hoping to get some response. It’s natural, it’s something we need, its conversations.

Besides the very boring existence we’d have if everyone ignored each other and nobody had conversations, I’m sure our teeth would rot and lips would stick together.

So if it wasn’t for conversations, we’d be weird creatures with no teeth, who try to speak to objects …and that is why I have conversations.

  1. Conversatins, like love, is a human need waiting to be fulfilled. Yes, and life would be almost non-existent if it weren't for conversations - whether face-to-face or online.
