In its pure form, conversation is two individuals engaging in kindness—giving time, energy, and space to each other in a conversation. It is a sustainable form of affection, love, and appreciation. By lending our ears, exchanging thoughts and pleasantries, a simple level of kindness is taking place. In relationships, we cannot say, “I love you” all day long. But by talking about how another person is doing, having tea, having dinner, or going for a walk, we can sustain the feeling of kindness.
