Features: Whether you are who you are, you have to speak. If you don't speak with your mouth, you will still speak in your heart. I can't imagine, suddenly one day, everyone in the world stops speaking. That would be such an awful silence! I also can't imagine, suddenly one day, everyone in the world says the same thing—it would be such an awful uniformity! Whether you listen or not is your business, and whether you speak or not is my business. Having a lump of stinking rag stuffed in your mouth is tragic; having your throat cut is tragic; swallowing a mute pill is tragic; wanting to speak but being unable to, and forcing yourself to swallow it down, is also tragic—all of these are not imagination, but all involve paying a price. But it can also be certain that many of these speakers are speaking their own words, but, this way of speaking is definitely not chatting. Chatting is a very good way. Casual chatting can go on and on, or it can go off-topic. Moreover, the people chatting are definitely speaking their own words.
