I always noticed
this;
We tend to listen to people who didn’t want to tell us
anything and ignore the ones who always telling us stuff AND we tend to tell those
who didn’t care and hide from those who cared.
It has been
bugging me for quite some time actually. I’ve been thinking how these
phenomenon seems to be quite normal and ordinary since everyone seems to be
doing it, including me. The only times when I realised this is whether I was
being unheard when I told something important to him/her or when I realised I
lost my focus during a conversation with somebody.
And I realised
most of the time, these were caused by distractions from our phones. I’ve been
experiencing it lately. When people actually talked to me but they keep looking
at their phones (I have to admit I did that as well sometimes) and were
distracted to what I am saying. For a few times, it was not a big deal but
sometimes it makes me lose respect to these people, lost my trust to them. I
don’t know about other people but I keep on telling myself to work on it, to
stay focused on whatever the other person is telling me without getting distracted.
And sometimes, I
had this feeling that doing a multitasking job is not very efficient if you are
not good at it. For example, you are doing your report/assignment/essay while
talking to somebody. I sometime think that people keep forgetting what’s
important and what’s not but just juggling between them on the very basis of
multitasking.
I can see if you
are washing dishes while on the phone, that’s pretty acceptable but to cook
while on the phone is another thing, especially when the one talking to you is
talking about something important and not just having a small conversation with
you.
I am not trying
to blame anybody here or saying that people who didn’t listen attentively are
bad or whatnot, it is just that this habit is not really what we should practice.
It is really bad when somebody is telling you their concerns and problems and
you were not giving your full attention to it. It is really frustrating, really
when somebody you expect to listen didn’t actually be bothered.
*****Somehow, I
think this post is becoming more personal. =…= sorry, I was having some
difficulties in writing my thoughts in order that’s why I can sense some
unnecessary emotions there.*****
Anyway, things to
think about; who am I telling to and should be listening to? Should they be the
same person or not? Who did I ignored? Who was worth telling to and not? Who
care and who didn’t? Who wanted my attention and deserves them?
These things,
should really be properly examined. You might be neglecting people who cared,
who are sincerely caring for you and not wanting anything in return. These
sincere people who are nice to you because they nice, without any hidden
agendas. I hope you can find those gems and would realise who are not. Because
sometimes, I think we have been chasing something that’s not our to begin with
and were ignorant enough to realise that we are letting go things that are truly
ours. It is not wrong to chase our dreams and hopes, but make sure we secure
what we owned properly and never ever forget and neglect what/who has always
been there for us and with us.
I hope you will
treasure what you have, and be thankful.
‘Live simply, love generously, care deeply, and
speak kindly.’
Sometimes we forget to thank those who gave, so be
thankful.
