We Don't Want To Know

The age old question *how are you?* ...most of us ask our loved ones, friends and acquaintances. Obviously we love and care about our relatives, friends and acquaintances so of course we ask this question; yet as our lives are filled and busy pertaining ti life's demands... there are times when each and every one of us wishes perhaps we never asked this common question. Especially when one decides it's the perfect time to pour their soul out.. all the way out and it's most difficult for one to listen since we all have our own particular time consuming problems. Yes, surely it's healthy to get all out of one's system but to listen to *repeats* can be highly stressful for the one attempting to listen and help the other one in the first place. Simply fragments... pieces of thoughts, feelings and emotions shared by so many.
