One pessimist would cry, ‘It’s all sheer nonsense.’ Most of us do not know how beautifully we can represent ourselves. It’s an art and we must learn it.

Yes, we often talk irrelevant. Naturally, what we listen doesn’t carry enough weight. In reality, understanding each other is almost out of question.

One optimist is always compassionate. He seeks at every step how far things could be made good. He tries to find out how to see all significant.

Strangely, we all are born as teachers; have nothing to learn. We talk too much; do not listen to anybody. Even a young today feel like teaching his or her parents. I admire where they get such inspiration from! Parents are not as adorable as they were earlier. However, it’s a different subject to be dealt with very cautiously. Let us come to the point.

Prior to Loksabha election this is what we find everywhere among the leaders of all classes. India is a democratic country and we enjoy freedom of speech to a great extent. Circulation of so many views makes people simply bewildered. Among metropolis, cities and towns the picture is different. But in the rural it is, more or less, all very dangerous. There the leaders are often wild.

Had it been just the reverse, each of the leaders would have been taught a good lesson or could learn as how to do good to our society and the country as well. Problems should be detected and solved. For that leaders must listen to people. The best method of attending someone is listening with empathy—i.e., with compassion and understanding.

In this context we may remember Great Shakespeare who pronounced: “Give everyone thy ear; but few thy voice.” Let us delve deep into it.
