The environment you listen to
November 12th 2011 14:03
Flowing through every being is the notion of sense. Some have five, some more and others less. At best we are qualified to talk about those of us with five.
Some will be deaf to music, blind to violence, mute to a loudspeaker, unable to taste salt or feel the wind. It is often requested of us to do without one or the other. Whether you listen to that request, can be determined by the environment you prefer to tune in to.
Some will zone out and drop in to the waterfalls and forest leaves with whale sounds at intermission. Others will be moved to ritual prayer or habitual movement. For most of us though, we will tune in to the environment and process our own assessment of the matter at hand.
The street is an environment we should listen to, even if some of us are too attentive. The carpet of concrete and soil will provide a story for every word whispered and every person who whispered it. Considering jealousy to be a mother we don't want to listen to, both the story and the person it came from should go together hand in hand.
But there are no rules to say what is passed on through the chatter of mouths and the clacking of tongues, the gullibility of the listener and the reason for foaming at the mouth. Like sex and politics, envy and public spaces simply shouldn't go together. They might not be reactive themselves, but the by-product that is the intended witnesses can be a hard act to swallow.
The envious might want to chew faster, and the enviable will request a drop out to ensure no nasty complexes are formed through the second hand smoke that made the envious in the first instance.
Don't let someone's past friends talk on their past relationships. Like passive smoking, you don't know where its been, and they probably don't really remember anyway.
