Idle chatter and serious talking

Serious talking is thus:

Having an opinion is a very personal possession, guarded as one guards a treasure in a treasure chest , to which the mind can be compared. Deciding to give it is like a very deliberate act of extracting it, carefully,  from the treasure chest because it's very delicate and could fall and shatter into a million pieces.

Once extracted it virtually glows and illuminates all around untill it is bestowed like a crown on the head of someone who is very special and has thus been chosen to be the recipient.

Idle chatter is thus:

The recipient doesn't treasure it but instead throws the opinion you have so carefully given him, in the serious talking described above, as if it is a cheap plaything, not designed to be applied like a healing balm but like an instrument of battle to hack the source of the opinion in search of a victory of self aggrandisment of the idle chatterer.
