Originally this page was intended to be all about my thoughts but as
I prepared to begin writing I began to wonder. I asked myself who
really cares what my thoughts are? Who would even want to read about
them? Seriously now, ask yourself those same questions.
Do you ever stop and wonder if when people ask you how you are feeling
that they even want to know the answer? Are they only asking to be
polite or do they really want to know how you are? I tested this question
one time and gave an off the wall answer. When asked how I was I said
"you care?" and the reply was "glad to hear it". I rest that point.
When you do hold conversations with others just how many do listen to
what you have to say? Better still do you hear what others have to
say to you? Maybe we are divided into three categories.
Those who listen and hear -
Those who listen but don't hear -
Those who do all the talking and don't listen or hear at all -
Many times I've found myself listening and listening to the latter
category then walked away wondering what they were talking about.
This could all be due to one simple answer. Well maybe not so simple
but at least understandable. Maybe we are all so wrapped up in what
we want to say or what we are thinking that we cannot absorb anything
that is being said by others. Many times I have found myself to be
guilty in that area. My mind is so preoccupied that I
seem to neglect what is happening around me.
Sure, I could write endless pages of my thoughts on many subjects and
maybe it would make me feel as though I have contributed something good
for all to absorb but would it? Would I only be fooling myself?
I do ask if you would kindly take a few minutes and leave your opinion
about all of this in my Guest Book or send me an Email. That would be
one sure way to find out.
Thank you.
