Speaking of such, I don't understand people with simple minds. Never will. Not just simple minded people, but also very ignorant and idiotic people. People who aren't affected by profound events, thoughts, experiences, etc. People who hold very uninteresting conversations. People with no depth, no growth, no flexibility, no appreciation.
It became incredibly apparent that the only conversations I have with those I care to have them with are very profound conversations. Those with equal giving and taking of words, experiences, emotions. All people who I don't have these conversations are lumped into just friends or acquaintances or even people I just know. People whom I have these types of conversations with [which is a great deal] are all considered good friends, close friends, and/or best friends. I cherish every damn second of these exchanges. These are the ones that constantly change my life. I evolve from them.
I have these so often that I hardly realize what a rarity they are. One of my best friends pointed that out to me. Her and I have conversations like that all the time, they're all I want. I crave them. They seem completely natural and normal to me, but for her she really only has them with me and probably her husband. When she said "rarity," it hit me, it astonished me. Often I've met people over the years and get into really deep discussions and without fail they tell me how awesome it is, that they hardly do this, and how provoking some of the things I say are to them. It surprises me that I say things that open their minds so much, especially if they are older and/or had far more experiences than I have. I'm also surprised because I'm completely oblivious to the fact that people just don't partake in such activities that often or ever. I like to think that I draw that out in people.
