One Mouth. Two Ears.
Cannot remember where I first heard this one, but it’s never left my memory.
We - at least the majority of us - were born with one mouth, but two ears. And I think there is a reason for that.
I do believe that listening is more important than speaking.
Way too many people just babble on and on, oftentimes just for the sake of making some noise.
You even get some f***ing bible bashers who stand on a streetcorner and insult your intelligence with screaming their beliefs at all and sundry. I will post more about them in another entry. For now, I just recommend you listen to Frank Zappa’s “Heavenly Bank Account” (which can be found on his “You Are What You Is” album).
