Thank you so much. I try my best to make a connection each time I relate, be it in my post or a comment. And I try to be a good young chap too😊😁. I do have many years ahead of me. I'd like to have it smooth.

Valid and relevant comments are the way to go. They don't need to be massively long either, just friendly, sort of like a person might speak with another in real life. You seem to do well with it.

Yes. The goal is to have a meaningful conversation with the author or reader. At times, an argument may ensue, but the essence of an argument (or disagreement) is that we get different perspectives on a matter, enabling us to have a better introspective view from our own standpoint, in turn making us better as we learn.

I learned that the word "conversation" is a mid-14th century word and originally had nothing to do with talking. Conversation originally meant a place where one lives or dwells. The overall pattern of actions or habits: the manner of conducting oneself.

This is also why I try to have quality conversations when I can, because they can help shape my thought processes better.

They do not have to be massively long, like I just did. But the end goal is to effectively communicate and learn.

Quality conversations are better than bad ones, and when a person is trying to build a profile, like a new user here on Hive, then quality is much more valuable than quantity.
