You can't build strong relationships in a time crunch. The value of a relationship can also be measured by how much time the partners devote to each other, how much they care for each other. Sometimes it's enough just to be together in silence. In one of his poems, Kosztolányi writes about an international company traveling by train: "Our silences do not connect in the end, since I listen in Hungarian, they in Swedish." Very clever. Because there is also a kind of silence between men and women that does not match. That doesn't count as time. It is fundamentally important whether they listen together or separately.
