Chatter Boxes

We are in a business of vanity
All want to make their voice heard.
No one wants to listen, everyone wants to talk
Listening is a great skill which we are lacking,
We are delusional, thinking that talking can fetch everything
in life.
Many with their eloquence, try to mask their mistakes.
Like an eclipse which obfuscates the sun.,
We are trying to obfuscate others through our talks.
Many think, talking incessantly would glorify their personality,
It would only make sense , if they talk something sensible.
Listening to others, respecting others is imperative.
If you don't listen to others, no one will listen to you.
If you keep on speaking without allowing others to speak, no one will be around you to speak.
