We should always learn from our surroundings by being observant and by being a good listener, but the plight is that we fail to learn and the only reason is our mental capacity which mostly fails to observe and always makes us feel that we are wisest.
Observing and listening is like meditation... If we practise, the experiences instead of becoming painful will leave us with a smile

Every smile has a story to tell,
All it needs a good listener.

Stories are told for the benefit of listeners.
Liars tell stories for their own benefit.

The true prize of Spoken Word is, "To awaken, entertain, and enlighten, the hearts and minds of the listener."

Poetry is an oral art form, when a poem is recited aloud(preferably by the poet) a unique 'as is moment' occurs with the listener.
NOTE:This is much thevsame as happens each time one views/touches a work of art.
