I Hear You (essay vol 2)

I hear you

 Almost everybody has normal functioning ears. But depending on our attention capacity do we actually hear what other people and things say. Some people like listening to natural sounds and some people like listening to man-made sounds.  

In the movie “August Rush” Evan listens to everything and through what he’s heard tries to communicate with his parents. I like listening to nature too. Listening to the nature helps to relax me. My favorite sounds are at night, when most people have gone to bed and I can hear the wind outside the window.

Listening to people is tiring. Most of the time I can’t tell whether the person is telling the truth or just trying to tell an interesting story. Because of this often, I don’t listen to what people say.  In the movie Evan is persuaded by Wizard that music can’t be learnt that it has to be lived and Evan goes with Wizard.

Deep down almost everyone wants to be accepted and they want people to understand them. For that to happen people have to actually hear what the person is saying. If more people understood each other then there would be less dangerous misunderstandings. Currently I am trying to be as accepting as possible. That means I have to start hearing what people say.

Actually listening to people is important in understanding them. That’s why I have to improve my listening skills. Also it’s important to relax from time to time and nature is a good place to listen to relaxing sounds and gathering inspiration.
