At the moment I am sitting in my school building and I wonder if the people the I go to school with listen to themselves when they talk or if they hear a huge wooshing noise in their ears so they don't realize how ridiculous they sound...This leads me into this:
Do we listen to ourselves sometimes? When we get going on a rant, or venting, or complaining about every little nitpicky thing? Do we really hear ourselves? Yes, for the most part we 'hear' the noise of our voices coming out of our throats but do we really hear what we are saying, that's the question.
The saying Think Before You Speak or If You Don't Have Anything Nice To Say Don't Say It At All comes to mind. We don't really listen to those old saying that our grandparenst or aunts and uncles or parents told us, do we? No, for the most part we don't.
Walt Disney once said "Whenever I go on a ride I think about what's wrong and how it can be improved." In a way that works with us, our thinking process, and the way we speak. If we took some time to think about what we were saying, instead of spitting the first thing that comes to our minds out of our mouth, we would be able to save ourselves alot of problems. If we thought about what is wrong with what we are saying then we would probably be able to solve our own problems without asking the opnion of other people and without overthinking things, if we just thought in the first place.
Like I said, sometimes I wonder what goes through our minds when we speak or when we are thinking. Do we stop and think about what are thinking about? Does that makes any sense? If we think about what we are spending most of our time thining about then maybe we wouldn't have so much drama, heartache, and lose of friends. Because, honestly, when we dont think before we speak we lose people. Whether the point of our speaking was to lose someone or whether it was just to voice our opinion we would be much better suited to think and go about things in a much more well managed and calm way then they way that most of us handle things...rushed, loud, and usually painful...Then there is also the opposite end of that spectrum but we'll talk about that later.
