A mere listener?

i wonder...

if people actually listen.

to other people.

to themselves.

i find that we often tend to express our own opinions,

rather aggressively upon others,

just to satisfy our own egos.

to think of it: who really cares?

we're too busy trying to butt in into another's problem,

too busy voicing out our voices,

and therefore, left with too little time for contemplation.

and what do we ponder about,

during the scarce hours of absolute silence?

most of the times, it's about our regrets.

a sadly true fact.

well, its a blade that has two ends.

reflecting on our actions might bring enraged mood swings.

however, it is also a humane trait that allows space for improvements.

so i guess, we reflect.

and i hope, that we try, at least try, to listen.

without prejudice and cussedness.

mr. liam, my chemistry teacher said this in class:

i'd rather be blind and see with my heart.

is there such a thing as:

i'd rather be deaf and listen with my heart?

i am still prejudiced.

even after many years of reflection.

i wonder:

can a human truly be unbiased?

i hope so.
