Quote by Erma Bombeck, If Life Is a Bowl
It seemed rather incongruous that in a society of supersophisticated communication, we often suffer from a shortage of listeners.
Summary
In the quote, the author highlights the paradoxical nature of our modern society. Despite living in a time where communication technology has advanced immensely, the speaker points out that we are often lacking in active listeners. This suggests that even with the abundance of communication tools like social media and messaging apps, people may not truly engage with each other and actively listen, leading to a lack of genuine connection and understanding.
