ear

Description

An ear is a sensory organ that faithfully catches others’ voices while skillfully shutting out any praise directed at oneself. It craves to eliminate noise and clamor, yet reacts with excessive sensitivity to gossip and whispers. During meetings it fails to hear the boss’s appraisal but vividly records a coworker’s complaints, thanks to its selective hearing feature. It receives emotional cries and mundane background noise equally, only to filter out the most inconvenient information. As a form of self-preservation, the ear’s graceful ability to ignore painful advice could be considered the mark of adulthood.
