You may feel quite communicative today and desirous of good conversation. To meet this very real need, you may find yourself engaging friends, relatives, colleagues, and strangers in chats that cover a wide range of topics. Even if you tend to avoid conflicts of opinion, you will likely enjoy a round of friendly debates while working or playing. Since you can remain tolerant while contemplating opinions and beliefs that are in opposition to your own, you may find that the talks you share with others today expose you to many new ideas. This mental stimulation can make you feel alert and inquisitive, provided you keep an open mind.
When we enliven our communications by engaging in stimulating dialogue with people whose ideas intrigue us, our enthusiasm for new information energizes us and inspires us to learn all we can about the subject at hand. Many people, fearing the unknown, limit their interactions by spending time with only those individuals whose opinions and beliefs are similar to their own. Yet we learn through our exposure to novelty and one of the quickest ways to find it is to approach those people whose experiences have differed from those we have had. As we compare and contrast our thoughts through conversation and friendly debate, we come to see that there are many equally valid ways of viewing the world in which we live. The new ideas you come across today will excite you when you make an effort to speak with a wide variety of individuals.
