Conversing

We converse to expand our thinking,
Not to create arguments…  
Unless that is,
In fact why you converse…
That is,
To create conflict,
Play devils advocate…

But most converse
To learn,
To broaden and expand…
Develop ideas and thoughts
Clarifying exacting
Where it is they stand
In order to,
Understand…
Themselves better
Than they didn’t before…

Problem is…
For most conversing
Is also
A time for defense,
Proving and disapproving…

Listening to only respond,
No longer a conversation,
For ego fights…
For validation…
Reassurance.

Yet…
It isn’t a matter of truth…
But rather,
A development of perspective.
