Part of the reason this happens has to do with the fact that our brain processes information at a much greater rate than we speak. So if you want to be understood, get to the point and quit beating around the bush. If you think about it makes good sense, after all, if your boring the other person to death, they may not care what the point is by the time you get there. One of the things we hear about communication today is the lack of it between the generations, more commonly referred to as the generation gap. It has been my experience that, if one listens to one of a different generation other, with genuine interest, or like what they have to say maters.
Some cool things happen.
One of which is the gap begins to shrink, and more often than not a new understanding grows out of the encounter for both. And hey, you could get lucky and learn something. One thing for sure everyone has his or her own story to tell. That said I would like to end with these lines from one of the greatest writing it has been my pleasure to come across, Desiderata . As far as, possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons.
