几天之后，我们又有机会去这家咖啡店．当我们正在享受我们的咖啡，一个男人走了进来．这个男人穿着不符合这个咖啡店标准的服装．他坐下，看着墙说："一杯墙上的咖啡．"服务员同样很有礼貌的端来了咖啡．男人喝完咖啡没付钱就走了．服务员把一张纸从墙上拿下来并扔到垃圾桶里．现在对我们来说没有疑问了，镇上人们展现出来的对需要的人的巨大善意让我的眼中充满了泪水．

我们的谈话是一次真正意义上的谈话，这在我成长的时代是多么普通的一件事情，但是就是这种简单的谈话方式在现代的今天看来是多么不可求的事情．今天，我们人类已经拥有聊天室，手机短信，电子邮件等交流工具，但是这看上去却使我们正在丢失面对面的交流的艺术．我们都知道现在的青年男女们出去约会时，他们花费大部分时间来接听电话，现在的青少年似乎更愿意借助于发送短信来和朋友们交流，而不真正意义上跟他们聊天．
如果现代人继续这种交流方式，那么不久的将来，我们会失去用语音来表达情感的能力．你是怎么想的，给我发送电子邮件吧，或许我们可以进行一次真正的谈话．
