When talking about conversation, what comes to most minds is that more than one person is involved in order to have a conversation, and it is not usually thought that a conversation can be done by one person because it seems that this The incident is not reasonable but madness. It is insane to have a conversation with only one person, and many people either avoid doing it, or if they do, they hide it for various reasons and do things so that other people do not notice this state of theirs. Do not accuse them of madness and psychosis.
But in this article, I want to say briefly that the conversation is not about the number of people, but about its quality, and to clarify the issue, I use the knowledge of etymology. The English equivalent of this word is "dialogue", which consists of "dai" meaning 2 and "logo" meaning speech. In all dictionaries, this word is defined as a conversation between 2 people or 2 groups or more, and in fact, the number 2 and being together is the main pillar of the meaning of this word.
In contrast to this word, we have the word "monologue" which consists of two parts "mono" which means 1 and "logo" which is the same as speaking. A one-way speech, a monologue which is usually an example of a speech or reading a story or a play unlike the first word, the basis of this word is the number 1 and loneliness.
But in this article, I intend to say that in my opinion there is no such thing as a monologue, the act that we call a monologue is actually a kind of dialogue, but the other side is not as obvious as dialogue.
Even if we assume that the issue of the participation of other strains is effective in the realization of the dialogue but I must say that in a speech or a play performance or reading a story, although the audience is apparently silent, but with thought and reflection about what they are seeing and hearing, still in a way that they are performing a monologue participates. Participating in such cases is not just speaking, but thinking and thinking about the subject being read is also participating in it.
Or another example, which is more important than the first example, and I even started my writing with it in a way, is the category of "conversation with oneself", which is apparently one of the examples of monologue, but according to what I said in this article, a person who has given himself such formality When he talks to himself, he actually talks to his inner self, he considers himself more than one person, and even instead of that, his other self also speaks, and he really starts a conversation that, in his opinion, is completely It is rational and official and even many psychoanalysts and psychologists have suggested such a method as a therapeutic solution.
But the thing to consider is that the fear of being called crazy prevents most people from accepting such a phenomenon. A phenomenon that many geniuses, writers, scientists and mystics, and in fact all of them, have considered it as one of the pleasures of their lives, a pleasure that is based on a lot of courage and rationality.
