Quite a few i am sure . And that’s quite oblivious , we all have a modern life , a life full of buzz ….and whats the buzz for? Well its for being heard among the crowd among the people we know and among people we don’t know. Everyone wants to be heard after all that’s what we are striving for isn’t it?
Truth to be told : The best thing to do in any situation is to listen, listen with the intent to understand; not with the intent to reply . Of course It’s hard.
Now as a stated fact we know that listening to others is indeed the key but what about its repercussions?
Owing to the fact, here’s the thing with listening right , this is one of those cases in which you are screwed up both the ways , its like pick your poison : Suffer the consequence of speaking up or suffer the consequence of being quite.
Because listening , it questions your existence isn’t it?
One of the risks of being quiet is that other people can fill your silence with their own interpretation:
And to speak is the only thing that would make us noticeable, would distinguish us from others , would help us build an image, would help us socialize, would help us know the other person better……….
……or wait, i think here’s where the irony kicks in , because sometimes only if you listen hard someone will tell you exactly the kind of person they are.
Forget about others , lets be honest do we at least listen to ourselves ? Nope. We are too drunk on our own ideas. And To sober up, we need take a step back every now and then and examine our quality in hindsight.
Have you noticed that you have changed in all this while?
You fit in people u didn’t before . You do things u didn’t imagine before . You hate the person u loved before . You no longer pursue that hobby with that passion anymore , have you really noticed that ? No u haven’t . Because now you don’t enjoy your solitude the way u did before . You are just too busy being everyone for everyone just like everyone .
