   Once upon a time I blocked out the majority of what my ears heard.  Now that I'm older I hear everything but only listen to a few things.

      Hi Vonda,
      That's a good tactic. Listen when we should. Yet hear all the same. It's what they call "two ears".

   I usually listen everything. As we are human being, so we must listen everything. I don't want to listen the sound of crying. No one must be in pain, although I know it is impossible, but this is the thing that really hurts.

      Anupma,
      Thank you for sharing your views! Yes, if we can choose the things we want to hear; that would be great but that's not how it works:( But if we can separate listening and hearing; like what Vonda does, it's a lot better.
