listening

well listening is a very important thing in one's life. Actually it is mainly by listening that one gains most of her knowledge . it is a way we communicate with others. It is the most important way in which we can use our hearing . Just imagine that what would have this this world been had no one had the ability to hear. Just think there would have been no music . In fact sound in itself is such a beautiful thing.
in the sounds of nature we can feel the passion of our mother earth.
but not all people are lucky enough. There are many a deaf people in this world . I always spare a thought for them .
but we people who can hear too don't use our ability in the right manner. i mean to say that we don't pay heed to what is the power of this ability.
many a times we encounter people who speak a lot but we do not pay heed to them. we just feel that don't they ever get tired . like someone u meet on a morning walk or during transport , i mean someone whom u don't know very well but still tend to meet them almost everyday. u might feel that what sins did u commit that u landed up meeting such irritating people like these . But do u wonder how your listening might mean to them. like it could be that no one else pays attention to them and they have so many thoughts in their mind that they want to let out.Or maybe that there is something in your personality that they always searched for in their friends but never found it ,so they are fond of u and just by listening to them u might be giving them immense pleasure , & u cant be unfortunate if u can give someone pleasure.

Also such people are very caring about you. u might just find a friend whom u can always trust on in bad situations.

actually sometimes only listening is not good enough, one also needs to understand what he is listening to . like i often talk to a friend of mine , who considers himself to be a good listener and admits the importance of being a good listener, but what happens is that he is never able to understand why i am saying what i am saying to him and what kind of a response i expect to get from him.

so all u people please realize the power of listening and please understand how you can best utilize this power of yours.
