Is there ever any use in talking to a brick wall?
Yes, when talking to a brick wall, one may receive an answer in the form of the question itself. The reflection of the sound incident upon the wall back to the speaker allows, in the form of an echo, the speaker a brief moment in time, varying to the distance away from the wall when spoken, to ponder the statement. After the brief period, the statement is returned to the speaker, who may then reconsider the statement as if someone else had spoken them. The other added benefit is that the wall won’t judge what one is saying, allowing the speaker to ask many question which, to other people, may seem offensive or sensitive. Walls have no feelings.
