There was this interview that just felt flat.
One of the key reasons why it felt so flat was that as engaging as the subject of the interview was, the person asking the questions sounded so dry, stilted and stale. It was great credit to the person being asked that the answers given were so engaging. Indeed if I only heard the responses it would have come across as far more interesting.
Life, however, is not a monologue. In as much as I live it through my eyes, even those are engaging in something beyond me that I respond to. It’s a riveting conversation because of how I view and hear that which I engage with beyond me.
What particularly makes for a flowing conversation is engaging with people who refuse to see their role as presenting challenges in a dry, stilted and stale way. They see their part in life as using whatever they have been given to stimulate whatever is around them pursuing a better way of living.
I find those kind of people inspirational. They incite me to look to live the same way, even as we know a very good example of someone who lived that way and though he died, he rose again from the dead to offer the way to eternal life experienced by never being dry, stale or stilted. Rather this life would be enriching, engaging and ever flowing.
Like a good flowing conversation.
