Hear Me Now...Listen Later?

Why are we so quick to say "huh" what did you say or total ignore the person. I believe in this fast pace lifestyle we lead we need to "touch" that person to let them know that we want their attention. The pure sound of one's voice just doesn't seem to cut it anymore.

Why is that? Are we so busy in ourselves? So wrapped up in our work that it doesn't seem to phase us? I can honestly say that I am sick of saying things two and three times before someone hears me. But do I hear the first time? I am trying. It has taken "opened eyes" to realize the importance of this. When it is being ignored. I seem to get a bit irritated. "Do you not hear them?" "Are you not listening?" Touch them physically and they will give their attention. Sometimes?

What if what I have to say is truly important? Not something to be taken lightly? What if you miss it? Will I say it again? Don't just hear me, listen to what I am truly saying to you. I sometimes speak in code but if you know me, you will know what I am saying.

I am worthy of your attention. Did you hear what I am saying?
