Meaningless

Meaningless banter, or missing a piece. I often enjoy sharing meaningless conversation with others. Okay, maybe not enjoy, sometimes I feel really stupid afterwards. 'What purpose does it serve?' a question which often pops into my mind.
Recently saw the other side of the coin, when someone else was discussing his 'meaningless rant', as he put it. Without going into details of the conversation, it was an issue that sort of was hitting an invisible wall to his eye, but as he was talking about it in frustration, the next step formed to me with a clarity that probably came from relating to a similar prior experience. I found out this week that my suggestion worked in solving his issue, and he was thankful for the 'insight'.
Got me thinking about the entire exercise, though I enjoy my meaningless conversations, I often think them to be futile. Maybe I'm just missing a piece, or then again maybe not.
