The "word" seems to be the new obsession. You see people talking or writing (=texting) all the time, everywhere (yes, even while driving!). What is so important that cannot wait, that needs to be communicated non-stop? Shouldn't communication involve something that is either an interesting news, beneficial information, or that has a useful goal?
Here is a little dialogue narrated by A. de Mello.
Pupil (excited): "Master, you must hear what I've just heard at the market."
Master (calmly): "Is it something interesting, useful or funny?"
Pupil (reflecting): "Not really."
Master (smiling): "So, why should I listen?"
