Lost your way on the road of life? Get out and stretch your legs on the weekly rest stop known as Sound Advice.
I Am The Avalanche bring up a good point. Has volume become a substitute for quality? So often in life it seems the squeaky wheel gets the grease or the person who can yell the loudest in an argument becomes the winner through intimidation, regardless of whether they make sense. Hearing sounds is one of the blessings of the sensory experience of being a human, but when we place all our faith in what we hear do we lose our common sense?
When you watch a great movie you can tell exactly what is happening even if you turn off the volume, and the same is true in life. How often has someone told you one thing and done the opposite? Someone says they love you but they cheat on you. Someone says they are sorry but they go and repeat the same action. Someone says they’ll be there but they don’t show up. We want to believe what people tell us so badly we can convince ourselves to ignore the truth.
We were given five senses for a reason. Turn down the volume on your life and pay attention to your other senses for a while. Actions speak louder than bad rap metaphors.
The Ratt is a very smart man!
