The Sound of the Surroundings

Have we ever noticed the sounds around us? And if we have, have we ever enjoyed them? If yes, are those sounds all types or specific?

Thanks to our ears for their ability to pay attention to our surroundings. They do their function at their maximum. They can also give signals to us about what types of sounds we can enjoy.

Any daily sound that comes from nature is absolutely enjoyable. Who cannot enjoy the sound of the leaves played by the wind? Who hates the chirping of birds on the trees? Who is afraid of the sound of the pouring rain? Nobody, I think and I hope.

I need to focus on one type of sound, that is baby chick's voice. Try to enjoy its voice when it is under its mom. Its positive emotion of feeling warm under its mom sends a soothing sound to our ears.

It will be different if that baby chick looks for its mom. Its voice will be very loud because there is an emotion there; an emotion of feeling scared of not finding its mom. That baby chick's voice will give signal to our ears that it needs help. Is that kind of sound disturbing us? I don't think so; it is just affecting our emotion and reaction about what to do.

However, if we sometimes feel disturbed with some certain sounds, it is because the emotions causing that sound are uncontrolable. Just imagine when we hear the crowd of women waiting in line for a sale. The sound will unbearably hurt our ears because of those women's desire and anger to get the products on sale.

How will our ears feel when hearing many people working in front of their computer, typing onto their keyboard loudly and powerfully? Just enjoy it, because it is the music of the surrounding.
