144 Try not to listen

Speaking of language, I have a strange wish; if only I could temporary choose to become illiterate to the language I use. If I could not understand the language it'd lose its meanings and turn to be a mere sound. Helpless? No it could be so helpful when you're surrounded by people talking loudly while you have to concentrate on reading contract, newspaper, or musical score.

Reality is, of course you cannot shut down your ability to understand (almost automatically) the language you're familiar with. Why do we have no option to control our linguistic sense and let ourselves go into another layer like sleeping? 

But no, we mustn't lose our emergency sensor anytime and it's the language that convey the information to save ourselves. (That's interesting because we rely on mainly a visual information in our normal life.)
