Monologue is a common sight that can be found on the scripts of many theatre works, starting from centuries before. but i dont want to dwell on any ancient history and im not a historian, so im going to talk about the present, now.
In present days, monologues have become
a tool to dominate conversations and also
a weapon to exhaust others(even the non-listeners) of the less interested parties, and last but not least(definitely not the least cons of the way people uses monologues today),
to prove the existance of one's capability of doing so - the mobility of the mouth and the stamina of the lungs and the throat.
i dislike people who come to me for a conversation and end up doing a monologue which last for almost an hour, most of the time. the reason for the disgust of monologues off-stage is mainly because it leaves me feeling
unworthy of opening my mouth for an utter of words or noise in the ears of the beholder and the
unworthiness makes me feel crappy for the sake of the supposed "conversation".the whole "tangible" feeling is like a recorder thats alive - what im feeling when the other party is doing their monologue.
i have friends who love to do monologues off-stage. once i hit the "
start" button, they can go on without even detecting that
strong irritation radar i was sending off, by so you can see how STRONG their shield power are. Either that or their immunity system is overworking that it dispels the awareness of the feelings of another human being. to put in a single word, they're just being
INSENSITIVE.
whatever reason it is that they enjoy doing monologues, it just ultimately goes down to one thing, they dont have enough attention on them, so they choose to get it all at one go by yakking non-stop,
for fear that once they stop, the attention will drift off to somewhere they dont intend it to go.blogging can just be another means of monologing, except the receiving party can choose to address it or not.
