sometimes in life, especially the people around us, the people that we care most. often enough don't listen to you when you have something to say, or opinions that it's in your head. and often enough, you'll see them banging their head onto the god damn wall over and over again, even though you just ask them to lift their head, and go round the stupid wall.
you could nag till the cows come home from lala land. you could give the most influential speech that even Martin Luther King claps his hands. but none of the words will go into that thick skull of theirs. WHY?!?!
i'm sure you know why.
we've all done it in numerous occasions. friends giving advise, ignore. parents teaching lessons bout life, blah.
is it really that hard... just to listen? interpret, and rationalize just that wee bit. i guess it depends on the other party willing to listen to YOU. you may be their best-est friend ever, but if they chose not to listen. like i said, can't even convince that person with Luther King's speech.
ironically, if that person chose to listen at the very beginning, even whateva their great grandfather's cousin brother's wife's nephew's daughter's step sister's maid said, they will; 'ya hor, why didn't i think of that'. padahal the things you or the maid said is EXACTLY the same!
moral of this post; we listen to what we wanna hear.
