Hmmm, so what is small talk? Well, you could call it your regular chitchat session which you usually have with the ladies. Its that part where we let our gaurds down and just talk about ‘whatever' comes to mind.
Now, it will interest you to know also that the term ‘gossip' has been long associated with women and this though not entirely always the case, it is really a fact that many of us women can't help it. We just love to talk! Yes! I mean who doesn't.
It is good to have a time out where all we do is talk and maybe share cookies and tea, but the issue is what exactly are we talking about. Yep! Because its high time women moved from mere gossip to some more real talk, and this can only be possible when we shift our focus from some unnecessary as well as unimportant details in life or when we stop the mundane habit of poking our nose into other people's business. We need to come to the point where when we come together for chitchat we aren't only talking about the newest series, or the latest wedding parties, or worse still the failure of a fellow sisters marriage, and blah..blah..blah.... But we are discussing on how we can change the world around us, what we can do to help our families grow, or how we can help a sister or sisters in need, or what we can do in our churches that will be a blessing to others, or how we can enrich ourselves, oh! and it wouldn't be bad to talk about what's going on currently in our country and economy, yes, because many times we get too busy that we become ignorant of the world around us.
Ladies, please don't get me wrong, I am not against small talk, neither am I saying that you should refrain from it, rather, what I'm saying is, we should engage in discussions that are meaningful and not those that are simply worthless, sorry to say. I mean there's a saying that we should avoid idle chatter. True! what profit will it be to us if we sit all day and talk and yet there's nothing meaningful that comes out it. So you see, in essence I am saying that we need to turn our small talk from gossip to real talk. That's it! It sure will go a great deal in making our lives and the world around us a better place. So the next time you are with your girlfriends rather than idling away suggest some vital issues and then discuss them, also avoid those friends that only want to talk about unnecessary issues, it won't do you good!
Finally, a special note for men; Do not think that you are exempted, I've seen guys who spend the whole day arguing about soccer games, and even gambling, or discussing irrelevant issues. Real men should avoid idle chatter, I mean they are MEN, emphasis laid, and that is why their conversations too should be responsible and not the opposite.
