the lost art of good conversation

"as the satisfactions of the body decay, my desire for the pleasures of good talk and my delight in them increase"

Cephalos
(from Plato's "Republic")

IMO in our efforts to overhaul our ways of life to a more sustainable format (eg less CO2 and materialism "hungry") yet one that remains rooted in our ways of life in the history if humankind, we need to rediscover the pleasures that Cephalos speaks of (both of them actually).

Food for thought!
