- People are longing for relationship.
- When invited in a kind and curteous way, people are willing to talk about themselves.
- Listening helps build community. (Look at the response of these total strangers when they were done talking.)

Loved those commercials. Maybe we could have a traveling couch & just engage people in conversation?
I actually choke up during these commercials. It's amazing how much weight people have in their lives and just want to unload!
