well since i'm feeling all..
well you know. i hope you know.
ah whatever. anywayyyy,
GOOD LISTENERS ARE UNDER-APPRECIATED.
i really think so.
lets look this from a different perspective.
you see everyone loves a great speaker, how they mesmerise the audience with
their words and charisma. everyone loves a hot chick/dude, with bombs/eyes to
die for. everyone loves a popular person, a well-connected person, an outgoing
person and whatever form the star of the show may be.
(i say this from the perspective of a party/large open conversation)
but you see, who notices good listeners? who notices the quiet girl who pays
respectful interest in everyone around? who sees the nice guy who hangs around
with a tear-laden shoulder? they don't steal the thunder, so does anyone hear them?
they're the people who work behind the scenes and keep the conversation going,
even going as far as overcoming the barrier of silence to add a comment or two.
even in a smaller group, with a handful of people,
there are some that just listen with honest enthusiasm in their eyes, while others
take the stage and spill their thoughts. do you notice him or her?
if it's between two people, does the person dominating the conversation know what's
going on? any reciprocation towards that great friend for listening?
it's a sad world out there.
