"There was something missing from those lines.
There were emotions, yes, but only half of them."
Communication is an art. And more specifically, conversation is that side of communication which has this surprisingly strong power of exposing, unveiling and unleashing the emotions that lie within an individual. While there always stands a choice of controlling these attributes of expression as per an individual’s own will, the fact that conversations play a big role in allowing people to understand other people, their idiosyncrasies, imaginations, perspectives, and creativity to a certain extent remains very true. People have motives behind any conversation. They tend to make their point, express their opinions, their disgust or admiration/flattery, apprehend, agree or disagree, persuade or disapprove, complain or respond.
Conversations can sometimes be a cradle of deception. More than often, people tend to utilize it as an art of treachery. Seducing someone, possessing someone, casting a spell of vehement but benign emotional oppression, or even dragging someone into practical hypnosis is possible through a conversation. That largely depends on the mentality and the proactivity of the either parties holding a conversation, but a simple intent may work as a significantly powerful incentive behind expanding the motive of someone actually practicing it. That is, expertise in this art can, to a great extent, cover up the other frailties in an individual and might limit people from exploring into that side of their personality people tend to conceal.
The pros and cons are ever so clear, but only if people bother to care. Conversations are addictive. And what is addictive, is not always productive, or salubrious for that matter. There comes a point of exhaustion where this addiction erupts its inner scourge. Theoretically speaking, conversations might even blind people. Sometimes totally changing their individuality, their innate reflexes and dispositions that characterizes them. People might get so obsessed with that image of themselves that is portrayed from those conversations, it might be impossible for them to get out of that vortex and explain their lost innateness to themselves. Many times, it is not so hard to imagine people carrying impetus from one conversation to the other and expecting similarity in both of them. That might cause disappointment to some people, which clearly indicates their lost vigour and their ability to ascertain with their identity. It might be a complete stupidity to allow our judgmental behaviours get the hold of “inference” part of any conversation, but the truth is, there is also a merit of letting it happen. That is when “honesty” weighs in. When conversations are anything but deceptive.
Honest conversations are something that enrich the preexisting emotions that people care to expose. “Honesty” in any conversation doesn’t necessary refer to rudeness in general. It, rather outlines the ability of either parties involved to abstain from hypocrisy. More specifically, the consistency in doing so. Honest conversations may even enhance social skills, expose your ugly as well as the more graceful side with equal effectiveness. In honest conversations, even euphemisms look more than meaningful(Euphemism may sound somewhat paradoxical when talked alongside “honest conversations”, but since it helps in avoiding malice to a great extent, its paradoxical nature could be practically ignored).
When honesty rules, even vociferous downpours of anguish from the other side can be handled with ease. Flirtations are fun, practical jokes sound more than decent, and most importantly, people feel more valued; their emotions justified. There is surely a difference between a covetous fabrication and a selfless portrayal of oneself. The latter is certainly more productive in the long run, or more serene and satiating to oneself in that sense. Lies are like nested loops, and when we avoid disguise in conversations, we tend to free ourselves from the fear of being crushed under the pressure of all those lies that build up. There is certainly a sense of liberty, if not the greed of getting your intent fulfilled in honest conversations. Living without guilt is one of the best feeling around and this is one great medium of doing that. It might be hard to find people who reciprocate that feeling, but after all, there’s as many good people as there's bad people. Finding people who share the same belief is quite an achievement! Finding them, talking to them and rediscovering this lost art shall always be something revitalizing to your worst phases of monotony!
