Though People Have

Though People Have

Though people have eyes,

they sometimes fail

to see the beauty in themselves and others.

What use are such eyes

if they cannot admire?

Though people have ears,

they sometimes fail

to hear their inner voice or listen to others.

What use are such ears

if they cannot truly listen?

Though people have mouths,

they sometimes fail

to speak their truth or reflect on others' words.

What use is such a mouth

if it stays silent when it should speak?

Though people have hearts,

they sometimes fail

to feel for themselves and for others.

What use is such a heart

if it cannot feel?

Though people have minds,

they sometimes fail

to think deeply or welcome others' thoughts.

What use is such a mind

if it does not think?

Though people have hands,

they sometimes fail

to reach out for help or lend a hand to others.

What use are such hands

if they do not help?

Though people have legs,

they sometimes fail

to walk an extra mile or walk beside those in need of company.

What use are such legs

if they refuse to walk farther?

Though people have perfect bodies,

they sometimes fail

to appreciate what they have—or what others possess.

What use are such gifts

if they inspire no gratitude?

Our whole life finds meaning and purpose

only when we live with gratitude and respect for others.

Life comes alive only when we breathe life into what we have been given,

and connect with people through what they, too, possess.

Listen, Understand and Respond

Listen, Understand and Respond Most of the time, people listen to respond rather than to understand. By the time the other person finishes speaking, the listener is often already formulating a response. Let’s explore what happens in such situations. While listening, we may be trying to engage our logical brain to recall our memories and creativity for a response, or we may be accessing our emotional brain to defend ourselves against what is being said. For example, if one person talks about ways another could improve, the listener might offer excuses such as a lack of time, resources, or support. Alternatively, they may bring up personal emotions, like health or family issues. These reactions often occur while the other person is still speaking, leading to a decreased understanding and an increased eagerness to defend one’s position. During this type of conversation, the listener may appear restless, exhibiting a lack of eye contact or head nodding. In such interactions, th...
