Its just another day when the ears go about their daily activities of whatever sounds wafts through the air to your ears enough to prick them up and listen to the unusual, and another Day when ears are actively listening to life and its rhythms and enjoying what all is being heard and what's happening inside the ears in what I tend to call 'listening,' which is more than just hearing.
Listening, in my estimate, tends to also be a form of art where words or sounds and at syllable levels are interpreted by different centres of the brain and a 'form recognising part of the brain' recognises the 'form' that all the brain parts bring together in recognising the 'object' in the 'topic' or 'context' and 'content heading' and 'experiential repertoire' from which the 'form' is recognised as relevant to be stored longterm or is just something the working memory part of the brain temporarily stores as a bit of information for a time when the brain is chewing upon the detail before stocking away into shorter/
longterm or just discarding it as irrelevant information...unless that bit of information keeps cropping up every now and then until the brain sits up and takes notice, like how the internet is now an everyday part of our lives, and a bit of information like 'New App that makes that part of life easier is better had in your phone/desktop' is an island in your intellectuoscape that your brain's headquarters needs to regularly pay attention to {ref: movie, Inside-Out 1}.
Dots/bits of information has bite value or oh!-just-another-sound value depending on the prioritisation of concepts/topics/contexts in your conscious/subconscious/unconscious/supraconscious levels of mind {ref: Sigmund Freud's work on id, ego and superego}.
