Some veterans came home with medals. Some came home with memories no one else can understand.
They gave a lot and got way too little back. All of them deserve more than just one day of thanks.
Thank you for raising your hand when most didn't. For being willing to go.
Happy Veterans Day.
They stopped teaching listening vs hearing. Ego. But sometimes its just because the way our brain processes. It processes super fast, but a conversation takes less of that processing. Result is boredom because the rest is just.. dormant, kind of.
It takes a lot of effort to listen. Mental effort and brain energy. Which also means if a person is really tired or stressed (mentally, emotionally, or physically), they can't use the energy to focus on listening. ๐
