I stand by, not meaning to eavesdrop but I am in the queue for my morning shot of caffeine. It's about nine in the morning, really wonderful weather with the prospects of a cloudy day after a night of heavy rains...just the perfect weather to enjoy your tea/coffee outside and take a moment to cherish life....
But not to digress ...so as I stand there, in no particular hurry three ladies in front of me in the queue are talking to the coffee machine! One says, "Good boy" and then presses the button remarking that [the machine] does not like being called a girl and needs encouragement otherwise it wouldn't foam well....
I almost laugh out aloud but they are my colleagues who I don't know too well... and I can't be laughing. But of course the smile on my face is really big because the way she's talking to the machine makes me feel that this is an everyday occurrence and not just for today.
At that point, I just smiled but later I wondered if solitary existence has made my colleague a compulsive conversation seeker. Who does she talk to when she gets home? I've always believed that all of us need to talk , to express ourselves, to make others laugh and this is one of the most important aspects that we seek ....so well I guess all of us at certain points are compulsive conversation seekers.

Bang on .. we, as species, are definitely conversation seekers .. or are we more connection seekers? I mean, we want to feel connected isn't it? Conversation is a means .. what say?
