Calm as water to talk about "topics"
In social life, people interact with each other, and the most common thing they encounter is probably a wide variety of "topics".
In the most general understanding, the content of "topics" can be distinguished by size, depth, and distance. The form of communication of "topic" can be distinguished by oral expression, by article writing, and by behavior.
The heart is as calm as water, expressing a state between the topic exchangers, and connotating many meanings such as reason, dedication, and seriousness. However, sometimes there are exceptions. For example, although my mind is as calm as water, I am not interested in your topic. Only when the two sides of the exchange determine that it is appropriate and appropriate, can a consensus be reached and recognized as a "topic" that is "worth talking about". This situation is called "meaningful" among the communicators.
A hot topic is generally considered to be recognized by two or more parties to the exchange. However, hot topics are more time-sensitive, and people have lost interest in the passage of time. If the topic is outdated, you have a new perspective, a new understanding, a new mood, a new conclusion, etc., and it still makes sense. The same is true for historical topics.
The above is nothing more than an illustration that topics, as the content of communication between people, have an inherent vitality that is closely related to people's social life; There is a possibility that the passage of time will offset people's interest in communication; It has the expected effect of guiding people's cognition deeply; There are many different forms that people like to see; Have a strong desire to pay attention to the truth of the topic; Have a normal psychology that people care about the end result of a topic. And all that!
The topic itself has the characteristics of infinite tension, and the same topic can have multiple ways to ask questions. As mentioned above, the scope of the topic can be large or small, deep or shallow, far or near, depending on the topic. For example, the same topic in daily life can have perspectives such as "what, why, and how"; There can also be perspectives such as "past, present, and future"; There can also be angles such as "how you are, how I am, how he is"; There can also be angles such as "suitable, inappropriate, very inappropriate", etc., and the list goes on. A well-intentioned topic leader will not mention the same topic repeatedly; Topics at the same level will not be mentioned over and over again; Topics that are summarized or qualified by the same term are not mentioned repeatedly; Topics that involve deep personal feelings are not mentioned repeatedly.
Therefore, as a topic that reflects the content of the topic, it condenses the mind of the person who narrates the topic; It reflects the comprehensive generalization ability of the person who narrates the topic; It shows that the writing style of the person who talks about the topic is consistent with the content; It shows the level of logical thinking and profound cognition of the person who narrates the topic; It highlights the credibility of the person who tells the topic.
