We have two eyes and two ears and one one toungue.

hello dpk, Speak less,less mistake. Speak none- no mistake. Sometimes I am not a good listener when the speaker is not a good one either. I only listen to a speaker who can motivate me to listen to what he/she is saying. Or depends if the subject catches my interest. I am not a talkative person as well,but I am a keen observer (that I thought so) have a good day and how's Diwali

Hi dpk No I dont agree.... We have just one tongue and this makes it rare for us. So it must its priority of being Rare and must be used more. Havent you seen families who have just one kid? S/He gets all the importance and is free to whatever s/he wants. But in families with more than one child, they do have restrictions on all the kids. So by that logic, as we all have one tongue, I think we all should use it more often and there are plenty of people who are doing just that. This is a lesson taught to me by the world I live in. Also, another historical adage to prove my point - Didnt you hear this - "Even a New Born has to cry or wail to let the mom know that s/he is hungry?". Dear, it should be our fundamental right to use our tongues more than our ears as we all have two of those ears

Ha ha ha....I liked the way you expressed you discussion.... I think it is not necessary that all two things are always better than one.... We can say that ears are very clever.....they listen from one side and take out from other side and you will not even know....., and eyes are very dangerous, they see all that they should not see and if you will close one of them, people will think you are winking.......lol. Besides what is the use if eyes observe and ears listen, but tongue does not express it properly. so I think it is the quality that matters and not quantity. Besides,Gandhiji has answered your discussion long time ago representing his 3 monkey formula.....bura maat dekho, bura maat suno, bura maat bolo.....and then all will be well.

dpk262006 THis is so true...many adults have lectured kids telling them "God gave you 2 ears and one mouth for a reason" lol same message needs to be given to adults...listen twice as much as you talk..

The ancient Greek wisdom Socrates syas"God gives us two eyes two ears and just one tongue." He must want to tell us "listening" is important. Listening is an art. One who knows how to listen to others will be loved by his friends. But most of the people don't listen to others when they are speaking. I used to be one. I had a friend. I like to stay with him. At that time I don't know why, but now I figured it out. He always listened carefully what I was talking, and asked meaningful questions at the right time. He never judged me. I lost the friend because I never listened to him, I always talked about myself and pushed him to solve my problems. I am learning the art of listening.

luckily i am one of the rarest category who is more interested in listening and speak only when its required.i can't go speaking out loud for the entire day and that is why i didn't opted for a teaching job.lol

I believe GOd has a purpose in each one of his actions[remember the story of the banyan tree and its fruit ]; too much talk is always bad ;"Empty vessels make much noise and silence is golden"--hmmmm! Whoever pays heed to such maxims[including me On the other hand,some people would love to listen to their own voices so much that they just do not have the patience to be good listeners.I have also observed this . Imagine the state of the hapless listener if such people were gifted with two tongues? Joking apart, I feel that less talk is always good and I plan to implement it very soon.

In my young world, dpk..I can still hear my father saying; "The Good Lord gave you one mouth, and two ears, that means you should listen as much as you should talk!" I guess it was a very polite way of saying; listen and pay attention! It has stood me good steed, all of my life...and today I still live by that! I am NOT in love with the sound of my own voice (as I can talk to myself all I want, LOL!)but make an effort to enjoy what YOU have to say! Have you ever been in a one-sided conversation..where the other person talks and talks and talks...ALL of a sudden they notice you are silent..and they just stammer to a halt! You can see the wheels of thought going around in their heads wondering "what they have said?" It's really quite interesting! I guess I am a woman of a few words, and I try to make them effective. Have a special day! Is Diwali over?

Hello deepak, Just imagine with two tongues, those who want, can make enough noise pollution with one tongue so if they have two? The purpose, you mentioned may be right - watch out more, listen it properly and speak meaningful words.

Hi sweetie. I tend to agree. People don't listen and if they do, it will be with great reluctance. They would rahter be heard that listen when others speak. Maybe we can add another tongue to make sure they really listen.

After reading your discussion I instantly remembered a lady in our family. Some people use to joke with her and say that the day she passes on she will need to plots. One for her body and one for her tongue. lol Funny but sadly she is the type that speaks to no end. She will talk just about anyone and usually out of malice. I agree as sometimes a bit more listening could arrive at more understanding but for some sadly the loose tongue take control. It only really takes a few seconds to listen but oh how fast the tongue can move. If we think about altercations and how fast the tongue moved, one would understand that there at times was a whole lot of nothing really.

Yeah, mouth is used to voice out what is in our mind and it doesn't mean we can be as free as we want to deliver our thought to public. Sometime, we have to be aware of our mouth, because mouth is like mirror. Mouth is a reflection of our mind and soul. People basically do not like people who speak too much. People speak too much is annoying and irritating. I hate people who speak a lot and that make me feel irritated and annoyed. Moreover, everything what she or he says are not relevant with reality. I will go away from him or her.

Hi dpk, God gives us two eyes to see and appreciate beauty of his creation and two ear to hear the words of God and one tongue to speak for His words. We should use them to praise Him and for His glory. Good day!

it is a funny question but it`s not 100% true.We use our eyes and ears much more than we use our tongue.Even when we speak we use our ears we listen to ourselves We also have only one brain so why people are expecting us to be smart ?

Some speak, some don't, some speak a lot, some speak just enough, - different levels of speaking as I have observed. Ultimately it balances but it will be sad really when two get together and both speak a lot or two just don't speak. It is the right combination that is the ultimate winner.

All creatures in this universe are created by the creator, i am believing that creator is the god, so our human design is one of the amazing design in this universe.

hi dpk, We have tongue so we can speak whats on our mind but we must always remember when to speak more and speak less Whatever we say we can't take it back happy mylotting

do you know something i'd never ever thought of this before. i just would have looked at it from the basic, thats the way we were made angle. i personally sort of just believe we have 2 ears for either side of our head, to listen from both angles, and the same for seeing, but we don't need to speak from any angle other than one.. but i like your way of thinking, it's a nice sort of "emotional" or "mental" aspect of our genetic build up!

Wow! I have never thought it in that way, I can see you've done some thinking there. I just think that we just need one tongue to taste and basically eat. But It's a very interesting concept and I reckon you're quite right. I'm not much of a talker but my group of friends are. I pretty use our two ears more often than my tongue. My ears are for my friends' tongues in which they simply blabber on and on to me and everyone as well. But like you said, some people who use their tongue a little too much may go just overboard and it starts to irritate you. I know people who simply talk about random things and especially about how good they are. It really annoys me but as a nice and shy person, I just let my ears put up with it.

Because of we are human, we just need one tongue,so we can speak one time and not two times in one speaking.. We have two eyes is because it is God perfect creation and to use to see, and look,the light of our body.. We have two ears,and thankful to that to listen in ,to hear what is good and bad..
