I hear you but ....

Today, my urge for writing came. i love to write. Actually i love to talk. But not to anyone or everyone. But now, talking is not a choice. I feel that you can only talk if the other party likes to hear you and listen to you. But it also depends on the situation. At work, you need to talk in order to get your message across. Some people take this one step higher by shouting or just state what needs to be done. I don't think that is talking....talking is actually two way streets where both parties are interested in the content of the conversation. Outside the realm of office and business related meeting, talking is just an expression of feeling.If the person loves you, you may talk totally rubbish, but he/she will still entertain you. If the love is no longer exist, although what you are talking about is considered important, the person will hear you but I am not sure if the person is listening to you. So what is the purpose then of talking to that person ?


Hearing and listerning are two different things. In many occasions, people would tell me after a meeting "I hear you but it does not mean I listen to you?" My reply was "Huh?"...but now I understand after going thru years of working with the non-talking group. What can i say is...we need to find the alternative routes for such characters...
