“Some people talk for nothing. They don’t have anything specific to say but they say it anyway. They hope to grab someone’s attention and start a conversation. The reason is that they want to have the feeling they are “somebody”. I’ll leave it to the psychologists to analyze their deep motivations. The bottom line is that even for these people, there is a reason and a goal for trying to communicate. There is always a goal for conversation, and that is either to better oneself or better the other guy.”
