So often, when I am out in public, I notice people with earbuds in their ears. I mean, I get it. There are all kinds of reasons why you want to block out the world. But, there is another level to this whole thing. By blocking out the world, not only do you leave yourself venerable to a surprise attack, but you miss out on all of the sounds of nature, of life, and all of that kind of stuff.
 
I guess, you can kind of call me paranoid. You wouldn’t be the first. But, from the way I came up, you always had to be ready. You never knew where the next attack may be coming from. And, you certainly wouldn’t want to miss your chance at self-defense. Or, to keep it from happing at all, if you could anticipate the on-coming. Earbud bock all of that out.
 
I know… I know… Everybody doesn’t think that way. They’ve never had to worry about such things. And, that’s a good thing. But, the reality of the reality is, negative things can happen to anyone. And, you should be prepared. I mean, is listening to the same song, that you have heard a million times before, all that important?
 
But, more than that. The sounds of life, nature, and reality, it’s all very interesting. I mean you can learn so much about human psychology, about the nature of man and woman, about life, if you just listen. That’s not to mention all of the beautiful sounds of nature and stuff. I mean, there are so many sounds out there. So much to listen to. Human or manmade it is all very unique and interesting if you just listen.
 
Anyway, that’s just my thought(s) for the day after being in a store today, where I just saw so many of the people hiding from reality via wearing their earbuds.

Do you really want to miss out on life?
