What is dull to you? |
I’m breaking it down today, going honest Abe on you all. That means no
short story in this post and just straight up truth speaking from my lips—er, finger
tips.
The answer of today’s question of the day is from the real me.
And the answer to what I think is the dullest topic to discuss is...
I literally spent two hours just thinking on this question and trying
to decide what I truly think is the dullest thing in the world to discuss and
after that time I could think of nothing I detested discussing.
See, I’m somewhat of an eclectic spirit and talking in extension on
various subjects is something I enjoy.
Maybe I just enjoy talking.
Religion, politics, weather, economics, education, music, movies,
literature, fashion, whatever and I’m typically game. If there’s anything I don’t
like to discuss, it’s typically not so much that I don’t like talking about it
as the fact that I’m not very well educated in the subject area that I feel I
have nothing to add.
One of those areas is sports. I’m not a huge sports fan, but I try to
follow local high school sports and support the hometown.
Maybe all this stems from the fact that my real life job as a
journalist requires me to be open to talking about such a wide assortment of
topics. Could also do with the fact that I was homeschooled and when I was growing up I always thought I was missing out on something by not going to public school. So I was always very open to hearing about new topics and discussing things, dissecting subjects so no one could say my parents made a wrong choice in keeping me out of the public school system.
But ultimately, whatever the topic is, I don’t mind just as long as the person I’m
talking to is willing to have an open mind and willingness to listen to my
opinions too. It’s no fun when a conversation suddenly turns into a chest-thumping
contest where the other person is just out to prove you wrong.
So how about you? What is the
dullest topic that you hate to discuss?
