I am a resident of a society where three high-rise towers are functional and two more are almost complete. Our clubhouse is well-constructed in the center, surrounded by towers occupied by many families.
Since yesterday morning, I heard the constant sound of water splashing or flowing. At first, I thought it must be the gardener doing his work. I went out, came back, and by late afternoon, the sound was still audible. I assumed the housekeeping staff must be using water, so I didn't think much of it.
When I woke up this morning, the sound was still there. This time, I decided to follow it. I tried my best to locate the source or a possible leakage, but when I couldn't find it myself, I informed the manager. Immediate action was taken, the leakage was found, and the sound finally stopped.
I felt a quiet sense of relief that my ears are still working fine. However, I was surprised that no one else felt the need to do anything about it.
Think about the math: we have an 11-floor building with 10 flats on each floor. Half of them are garden-facing toward the clubhouse, just like mine. Even if we assume 5% are empty, that is still about 50 flats. With a minimum of 2 or 3 people per flat, that is 120 living beings. Add to that the housekeeping staff, security guards, and construction workers.
Why did no other ears capture that sound? Is it because ears have been occupied with Bluetooth devices for years together? Or are people just becoming ignorant of the sounds around them that need human attention? Technology hasn't reached everywhere yet; some things still require a human touch.
Whatever the reason, I feel blessed that my sensory organs are working well. I am thankful that I was able to stop the wastage of water, though I do feel I should have acted yesterday without waiting so long.
