    Sometimes when talking with others the conversation becomes more so about truth, beauty, and the meaning of life. Sometimes these talks are initiated by me, but not always, sometimes they are brought about by others. Typically, the person who I am talking to receives the information well and begins to tell their thoughts on the topic. However, sometimes the other person may seem uninterested and tries to avoid the conversation. When this situation occurs I try to respect and be aware of their discomfort, so we change the subject. I try my best to answer their questions, but if I am unsure of the topic I usually explain that I am unfamiliar with it or just listen. When engaging in these conversations I try to show that I respect others’ opinions and try to contribute my own when I can.
