The Witty Writer

We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak – Epictetus.

Everybody wants to be heard though, in reality, everybody desires to have listened. If you have something to say and nobody is listening then, it’s far worse than the disappointing ending of the game of thrones. By the way, if Daenerys listened to the bell then, we would have seen a different finale.

Give respect – If you pay attention to somebody’s talking then, you are giving the person utmost respect. When you are speaking, you also expect the same from another person but, in reality, it does not happen. You have to find people who listen to you. The best way to judge if somebody is a bad listener, start whining about your life, and after few minutes of the conversation, he/she will start whining about his/her life. Choose the listener wisely.

The root cause of every problem – In married life not listening is like giving an invitation to world war 3. If you are single then, wait for that to happen. If your woman says something important, be attentive or be ready to watch Netflix alone in a garage. Communication is essential, and listening is an integral part of it.

Stop speaking – Sometimes, you don’t like what the other person is saying, and you are scratching your head. It’s better to say I have to pee and run for your life. The conversation is about how I met your mother is better than friends, and after listening, your blood starts boiling. You are not sure whether you kill yourself or others. Avoid such topics.

Listen to me – When somebody says these three magical words then, you are in deep trouble. You better have the superpower of counter questing, and if not then, you are as useless as the hulk in the avenger’s infinity war.

There is too much talking right now and meaningless yet, the majority of the people speak bullshit. There is no point in talking if nobody is listening. So, listen to me and listen attentively.

Thanks for reading.
