change 1*

In a whole book, there are usually only one or two lines that shape your view of that book.
When you meet someone and you go through hours/weeks/months of spending time with them, it can usually just be one tiny thing they say to change your perception of them.
This can happen for both good and bad.
Sometimes I stroll through life meeting people and rolling around in time, laughing and joking and creating images in mind, but then there are times when you stop and become shocked.
Shocked by the words that have fallen from their mouth.
I heard this statement today from a boy, who would consider himself a ‘man’,
“Walk through life blind, because listening is the most important skill one could ever acquire”
I giggled at first, wondering ‘how will I ever check out the abundance of talent that strolls past me in Aarhus?’
After I composed my illicit mind, and myself, I started to believe the statement.
Here are my reasons why.
Did u know you can feel a smile? Not just see it, but feel it. I believe in good karma and auras, but I know both can change rapidly, so being able to feel the change and the good nature of something is important.
If you walk through life blind, you don’t necessarily get to decide what battles you fight. Sometimes there gets to a point where you run into all of them.
Every. Single. One!
The point of the statement is, instead of taking everything you see on face value, you should listen. Listen to the people around you, 9 times out of 10, it may as well be rubbish that we talk about, but sometimes, someone that you have known for years or days, might just surprise you.

Any thoughts on this topic, besides the fact you can trip over if you walk around blind?
