Open your Ears...........

I recently had met a guy and had a conversation for more than an hour. In fact, I wouldn't call it a conversation, because he was the only one doing the talk. Of course it was not a public meeting or anything in that case. It was a casual first meet and already i have decided not to talk to him any more.

Reason:He just dint have time to let me talk. There are people like this guy and i think these guys lack the basic knowledge of conversational ethics. And, i was wondering how he will maintain his personal relationship with his mom/dad/Girlfriend like this (I don't think any girl friend would have lasted for more than a day with this guy) ... And, i think the basic reason for most of our problems is this attitude:Not Listening........

At home, we don't have time to sit and talk to our parents, (btw, how many people live with their parents after marriage?) and no time for wife or husband, simply because the other party is always busy. And, absolutely no time for our children, because we talk to our children only when there is an issue or if there is any commercial demand from them that might cause you financial damage.

At work, the question of listening or not listening doesn't arise at all, as we are all engaged and immersed in our own world where everyone barge in starting from office peon to CEO without your permission, and yet you don't care about it.....And, most of us don't carry this office baggage to home so, official problem never carry much weight in our lives. But, personal problem are something different.

They have a different effect and a deep impact altogether and all of us tend to think about such personal problem over and over in our mind and the surprising part is every time you think of the problem either you will get more upset or will come up a different solution.

And, when you just sit back and think of what might have gone wrong, it all starts with not listening to or to be more precise, not having a simple communication of asking: "How was your day?What do you say about it?How are you now?" Thats it...simple

For people like me, who always try to do some analysis when ever a problem or an incident happens, out of context or normalcy, they will understand how important is to examine your life, your relationships every now and then...just like how you check your vehicle regularly to make sure you don't end up with a sudden breakdown.

I think like this: God has purposely left the ears open unlike eyes, which you can always shut, when ever you want and the purpose could be human being is being insisted by the almighty to listen to your heart, to your relationships, to people around you, to the society you belong to and to the country you live in....

 

So, just Open Your Ears and LISTEN friends.................. (Just like him :) (her?)no idea....sorry....
