有心理学家作过统计，说的话90％以上是废话的人，他就有快乐。低过50％废话的人，快乐感便不足。
“今天天气真好!”——这就是一句废话。包括国家元首在内的问候都包括这句话。每个人活在这个空间里，都知道今天天气好不好，可是为什么有人就要说出来呢?其实说这句话的目的就是要引申出其他更多的意思，包括心情好不好，想不想活动，支不支持我。于是乎，后面就有了对答。
“嗯，今天天气真的很好!”
“想不想去哪里玩?”
“想过!”
“本来准备去郊游。”
“可为什么没去呢?”
“没钱啦!”
“这个月没发工资啊?”
“发了，用完了!”
“那么快就用完啦?你都用到哪里去了?”
“买衣服、喝酒……”
这废话就可以引出这么多东西。废话的意思并不明确，可是废话却不可少!它既可以沟通思想，促进感情交流，还可以摸清对方的喜好、性格特征和对自己观点的支持与否。
在心理咨询门诊，有很多很内向的人，他们之所以患心理病，就是因为他们废话太少，交不到朋友，没有地方宣泄感情。在他们的心目中，失礼是最大的事，因为怕讲错话失礼，所以就尽量不讲话，更加不愿意讲废话。其实人们在交流的过程中，事实上就是靠废话来联系的。
自从人类创造了语言之后，语言就成为了人类最重要的沟通工具。而语言本身却并不一定完全都趋于某种目的，没有目的的语言，更能让人亲近，更能让人信任。所以，生活中，废话多的人总能让人感觉到亲切，总能让人羡慕他们，感觉他们是开心的、快乐的、幸福的人。因此，你要想成为一个快乐幸福的人，一定要学会多讲废话！

Nonsense Does Make Sense
According to statistics made by some psychologists, one feels happy when he talks over 90% nonsense in his talking while one does not feel that happy if the rate is below 50%.
"What a nice day!"--It's nonsense. Even a president of a country uses this nonsense as greeting. Everyone lives in that aera and everyone knows what's the weather like. Then why there is someone that should say it? As a matter of fact, this sentense is a bait which can attract other topics like the mood, the willingness to go out etc. Then there comes the reply.
"Yeah. It's quite lovely."
"Wanna go out?"
"Abosolutely!"
"I've been thinking to go out for a excursion. "
"Then why not put it into action?"
"Money issue."
"You don't receive your salary this month?"
"Received. And I spent them all."
"So soon? What did you buy?"
"Cloth, drinking..."
How much this nonsense extracts! Nonsense is ambiguous but it's indispensable! With it, not only can people communicate, but also they can improve relationships with each other, get the measure of others' interest and character and realize whether you are supported or not.
In psychological consultation, many introversive people say that the reason why they get psychological disease is that they talk too little nonsense which leads to less friends. Based on their view, losing face is unforgetable. So they are afraid of being rude in wrong words and try to say as less as possible. Let alone nonsense. In reality, it is nonsense that bring people together and initiate the topics when people are communicating.
Language, since it was created by human beings, has been the most important tool for communication. However, sometimes language is aimless, which is more amiable and trustful. So, in our daily life, people who talk more nonsense are more amiable and adorable because they create an atmosphere of delight and forge an image of happiness. In a word, if you want to be a happy person, talks nonsense!
