| Doctors claim that chatting is helpful for relieving autonomic ataxia,
the loss of muscle coordination, especially in the extremities. This could be because speaking out about the things that accumulate in our minds makes us feel better. When we stop talking, our mind tends to start going around in circles. So talking with other people, even if only in light conversation, can be helpful in maintaining a balance of body and mind. Human beings are social animals and need to talk to others. We torment ourselves with certain thoughts and suffer from them. However, if we can put these thoughts into words, sometimes we realize that there is nothing to worry about. Or sometimes talking about our thoughts spark ideas that can lead to solving a problem. Talking can also help us to see ourselves more objectively, and prevent us from becoming overly self-satisfied in our way of thinking. As we start to see ourselves in a truer light, naturally our way of seeing things and thinking will change. Still, even though it's essential for human beings to talk with others, we're helpless unless there is someone to listen to our stories. Moreover, even if there are people who will listen to us, they will eventually turn away and avoid us if we always talk about depressing matters. We should therefore try to talk as much as possible about positive and pleasant things. It's important to try talking in a way that can uplift others, with a cheerful expression on our faces, and to remember to remain modest in our attitude. As the saying goes, "good listeners make the best speakers," so let's work at becoming good listeners. |
