Talking to people

One thing I've observed is that people will listen to you and digest what you are saying when they REALLY want to. Sounds like an obvious thing to say but is a powerful thing to know when conversing. If I am talking to this person and if I judget that he or she is REALLY not interested in understanding what I am saying then it's best to curtail the conversation and move on, it saves a lot of time and more importantly energy.

Humans are emotional beings, and emotion is irrational. It is the source of people not wanting to REALLY listen and understand what others are saying. Dysfunctional and inefficient. Best to keep clear of these situations, to save both energy and time.
