Empty gestures we use
from The Rhetoric Rick Show · host Rickey
"Let's get together sometime. We should grab a drink later on. We need to hang together. Let's just be friends." All this should sound familiar. It's been told to us and we've used these same lines at one point or many. Why do we say this knowing that we have no intention to contact or see this person or persons again? I'm guilty of this and in this episode, I talk about two recent encounters where this was told to me and people didn't come through. I also talk about how I plan not to 'accept' these meaningless gestures - we'll see though.
