My own voice is the dearest sound in the whole world to myself.
Endless opinions flow from me, like a river that never dries.
And this exact trait is the one true enemy of being a good listener.
The need to express outweighs my willingness to listen to you.
People feel lonely these days, even when surrounded by people, because they don't feel heard. They don't feel noticed. There seems to be no gravity to their presence. They keep trying to voice their hearts, but it feels as if it's falling on deaf ears.
Clearly,
listeners are high in demand, yet short in supply.
Imagine being a good listener in a world filled with people so eager to express themselves. Imagine how that trait, that gesture, that skill, of listening could be food for the souls of many.
People always remember somebody who heard them, somebody who regarded their thoughts, their feelings, and their ideas, with a serious heart.
But what does it mean to be a good listener?
Should I keep my mouth shut and nod, as if I agree with everything you say? What if I don't like what you're saying? Am I being asked to pretend to like what you're saying?
And what if I want you to listen to me instead?
