i've been talking, but not listening.

Yes it's 12.29am and yes I'm supposed to be sleeping but I just felt the urge to write. I was on Facebook doing the usually things one can do with Facebook, like the "How Well Do You Know so-and-so" and it dawned on me - I've been talking too much, I've not been listening. The quizzes were all in good fun and all, but come on, it does signify a certain little something right?

Unless the setter of the quiz decides to be an asshole and just create nonsensical, fake quizzes, there are some truth to the legitimacy of those quizzes right? More often than not, for most of the questions I did for my own quiz, it was based upon passing remarks I made in school. And if people had actually listened, the probability of getting a 100% is 1. The same goes to the quizzes of other people. If only I had listened, I wouldn't feel guilty of not passing the quizzes. Heck, I'll be confident to say that if I'd listened, I would have gotten that full 100%.

It's funny to me how a simple quiz on Facebook made me realise a true lesson in life. I've been talking too much, that I've not been listening. Therefore, I think I should change, but not the essence of me, but just change how I would normally react in situations. Somehow, to really make someone feel as though they mean something to you, the best way is to just listen to them, and not talk when they're talking. Of course interaction is good, but what good does talking bring if there's no communication? Communication is not just about talking, it's about listening too.

It's just a random post, and trust me to talk about this at midnight. But I guess sometimes, lessons in life hits you at any point of time. Mine just did, at 12.29 am, on a Sunday morning. *cue the Maroon 5 song now!*
