When is a good occasion to be hard of hearing?

When is a good occasion to be hard of hearing?
As a culture we’ve become somewhat numb to the loud noises of alarms, emergency vehicles, etc. As you exit the grocery store, the “theft alarm” activates. A flick of the wrist from the nearest employee sends you on your way without so much as a distant glance. Stepping into the parking lot, two car alarms fight for supremacy as though battling in a dueling piano bar. As an AMBER Alert then blares from your phone, you rush to silence it without reading the information pertaining to the young life in potential peril. We’ve all been there! As the sirens of an emergency vehicle pass, we must remember 3 things:
- That sound likely represents someone’s worst day ever. We must remember to look beyond ourselves and be empathetic toward others.
- Realize you or a loved one will likely someday be the cause of one of these loud, annoying sirens. Your “worst day ever.”
- Take time to appreciate the physics of the Doppler Effect.
All this being said, I sure wouldn’t want to be hard of hearing. That is, unless I was forced to choose between deafness and blindness.
You are so right Sue
I would say when people start discussing politics. Everyone has a very strong opinion and truly believe whatever their side is telling them. I can’t blindly follow any politician or party. They could care less about us little people who pay their salaries and cushioned pensions. When I hear the arguments I truly wish I was deaf.
I think that’d be a popular answer!
