At what cost-Song

 At what cost

 

I was silently looking into her eyes

I was silently looking into her eyes

expecting her to look me back

But she was busy on the phone

 

I ordered my beer

I ordered my beer

looked at her while the beer was flowing

expecting her looks to flow through

But she was busy ordering her drink

 

I sipped my beer

I sipped my beer

Looking at her

She was busy mixing her drink

 

I kept the mug down

I kept the mug down

still looking at her

She just kept her glass down

 

I took my next sip

I took my next sip

looking at her lips

She just kept her hands on her cheeks

 

I was wondering if I should speak to her

I was wondering if I should speak to her

engraved in her looks

She just gave a gentle smile

 

I was jumping with joy in my mind

I was jumping with joy in my mind

ordering my next beer

She smiled once again

 

I just walked to her

I just walked to her

She pointed her hands for me to sit

I had no words to speak

 

I asked her to order one more drink

I asked her to order one more drink

She pointed towards my beer

which the steward brought to our table

 

I introduced myself

I introduced myself

She just took my full history

which was a mystery

 

I was waiting for her to speak

I was waiting for her to speak

She pointed the gun towards me

With no courage to speak, I knew I was trapped

 

By the time I can act

By the time I can act

within a fraction of a few seconds

She left my wallet empty

and my account is dry

 

Beauty comes with a cost.

Beauty comes with a cost

For the sake of an evening pleasure

All I lost was my savings and the peace of my mind, too

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...
