I make soup stock
using bones
and I shared that fact
on social media.
A new-to-me follower replied,
stating she never found
that kind of soup stock
flavorful.
I began to reply,
planning to give her
my tips on
how I increased the flavor
but then I realized…
She didn’t ask
for that information.
I might have continued replying
if I was intent on selling her
a soup stock recipe
or something similar
but I had no pay off
for possibly irritating her.
So I saved myself some time
and her some possible aggravation
and I didn’t answer
the question
she didn’t ask.
Not everyone with a problem
wants a solution
to that problem.
Choose your discussions
wisely.
