Who is someone to talk to;the someone to whom one talks and loneliness
and
silence are over?That person may well not say a word.They are not a
counsellor,for sure.Yet one is probably talking to them about
loneliness,about talking and not talking,about communication.If they
sympathise they probably are not that someone to talk to;but if they
also
have your problem,maybe they are.Or if they understand your problem e.g.
as
self perpetuating,maybe they are;if they continue to listen without
signs of
strain for a long time maybe they are;if they are not isolated too,and
talk
to many people about many things,they probably aren't that someone.If
they
are there for you many times maybe they are that someone .But that
someone
performs a miracle which is probably two way.There is an ancient film
"Marty" (Ernest Borgnine,with Betsy Blair as the "someone" who does it
just
right and breaks the spell of a lifetime of effective silence)
Now I could put myself forward as a "someone",who is that "someone to
talk
to" about talking and not talking;although actually I need a "someone"
myself.How about you?Could you put yourself forward?
