Interesting stuff, Carol. I looked at it.

You know why 99% of people engage in a conversation or a discussion? They do it to talk.

Not to listen.

They do it to send out, not to take in.

And therein lies the continual problem of the general lack of real human interpersonal communication.

I've seen that in a lot of marriages, families, and other relationships too. It basically becomes a case of two or more human solitudes, all busily broadcasting their own reality out like a radio station, but consciously being aware of receiving very little in return (outside of something they can immediately react to with further strenuous broadcasting of their own story.

Eventually that results in a breakdown of the relationship.
