Do we listen or hear each other?



We  normally use  both words listen and hear  in the same meaning in most of our  languages.
But by listening  it means to pay attention to sound, while hearing means  paying no or lesser  attention to sound.
We hear sounds like clock,  car engine,  electric water motor  etc ,  and  we listen to our family members, friends  and  vehicle horn sound appears while driving.
Hence, the listening leads to action while,   there is no  or  lesser short term action against hearing message.

A man can hear from 20 to 20,000 Hz as per normal capacity given  by the nature. But man go beyond by using devises like phone, radio etc.

Now, we come to an interesting comparison. Elephant,  has a natural capacity to hear  from 16-12,000hz. Its a huge animal, having  big ears as well.
But, can we imagine this animal can listen the distress  or joy call of another elephant  as far as 10 kilometer? Yes, this is fact.

Friends, why God provided this unique skills  "to listen" or "to hear" a distress or joy call  to elephant? 
Seems a natural "face time " iphone technology gifted to this elephant. There could be many reasons, but one we can understand, that  if,  it is under distress, only another elephant can help out apart from the man.So,  as  a result  it  immediately react to help another  elephant.

Man, can not listen  like this animal but, can  feel the distress and joy of another even beyond distance and reacts  in a  way  like prayers, moral and another support.

Friends, here's  the  humble suggesstion for today ,  to focus on listening to  human and  other living species, and hearing  to non living things, unless it needs to be listen.
