Things that startled

Footprints in the Windsm # 2208–Epidemic of others
Footprints in the Windsm # 2208
We have in our day an epidemic. It is fear. We fear one another: meeting, talking with, an other: someone we do not know and who is somehow other than us. It leads us to shy away from stranger conversations. It leads us to make others into less than human in politics. It leads young people hopped up on testosterone and adrenaline to shoot one another.
Please pass it on.

No word for the opposite
If we have in English no word for the opposite of conversation, how serious has been our study of conversation? If we get serious about conversation we might learn about ourselves. I propose that the most direct route to getting serious about conversation may be to play with and at it.
