We have computers, cell phones, video confrences, and stillwe find it difficult to communicate."Wash away the lies,,find the comfort in truth...and just let it slide."

georgym Posted October 24 Report Share Posted October 24 Nice quote there, chief I think people hold back because they're either afraid that what they say will displease the person they're communicating with, or they don't believe 100% their own words.You're right though. I wish people would say more of what's on their minds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
