Chapter 37: Just Listen

Another day, another post. Well, not really everyday, but these days I have a couple of thoughts I need to pen down so they will not be lost forever.

Sitting down, looking at my surroundings, I wonder. Do people really ever sit down just to listen, or just to think, even for a little while. How many of you actually take some time, using a hundred percent effort to think? Or even respect something enough to spare your brain cells for a while? It's not that hard, and it really benefits you.

It does not have to a complicated world issue, maybe just something you see, or a headline. Or better yet, what you say and what you do. How many of you simply spit out vulgar language without thinking through, just because you think it is the end of the world, and you suffered too harshly to even care? Have you ever given a thought before throwing food onto the ground? You may think it's tiring to think thnings through, but sooner or later, these behaviours develop into a habit, like a daily ritual.

Have you ever thought about your own self-respect? Do you really enjoy looking like a monkey while yelling or screaming, jumping up and down? It is true that apes have more chromosomes than humans, but, I do not really want to look like one, since I enjoy being a human.

Do you think others like it when you whine in your whining voice almost the whole day? Please, even if you do not want to respect yourself, which I can understand, at least pretend to for the sake of being considerate to others.

Open your eyes, listen with your ears, its kind of helpful. And the whole world does not revolve around you. Think about it. If everyone thought of themselves in that sense, than the whole world would spin out of control, into chaos.

Stop, think, listen, and smell the flowers.

Until then.
